I don't think that it is such a good idea to cherry-pick articles to show your doctor. I suffered a major reaction when switching from Nardil to Parnate without a wash-out period. I was in the hospital for three or four days. I was incoherent and didn't know where I was. All I remember is an extreme amount of pain as they inserted a catheter into my penis. Otherwise, I was oblivious to my surroundings. It is likely that it was serotonin syndrome.Nardil -> MAOI
1 day is too short.
8 days might be okay.
10 days is often used.
14 days is safe.I suppose it's possible that your individual physiology would allow you to switch directly From Marplan to either Parnate or Nardil. I am not aware of any way to test for this.
For what it's worth, my guess is that one can switch from Parnate to Nardil faster than from Nardil to Parnate. I don't know enough about Marplan to be able to comment on this.
