In reply to From MAOI to MAOI: Washout period required?, posted by bearfan on July 27, 2010, at 15:08:10
> I am currently taking Moclobemide (RIMA), and since it seems to have a low rate of success, if i'm unhappy with it, how long would I wait until I try something like Parnate? It doesn't seem to me that it would require a 2 week waiting period, since MAO is already deactivated and by the 2nd day the system is washed out from Moclobemide. Same question applies to Emsam to Nardil or Parnate to Nardil.
After stopping moclobemide, you only need to wait a few days before starting another antidepressant. 2 week washout periods are normally recommended if switching between Nardil and Parnate.
