I was recently told this regarding washout periods from MAOI to MAOI:
"When you are switching from one MAOI to another, like with Nardil to Parnate, there is absolutely no need to taper, and there's especially no need for a wash-out period. You can safely switch INSTANTLY. That's what I did. If for some reason you DID need to stop taking Nardil for a wash-out period though, most sources say you can reasonably just STOP taking an MAOI. They don't have the same "discontinuation" issues that reuptake inhibitors have, and the whole idea of replacement occurring every day at a rate of 1/14th of the total inhibited enzymes (based on a 2-week "cycle") is pretty much a taper in its own right."
