> Hi.
> Im doing good on 60mg of Nardil at the moment. When it poops out I think I will try switching to Parnate then when that poops out switch to Marplan then when that poops out go back to Nardil,,, then rinse and repeat.I know a doctor who did that with one of his patients 15 years ago. It seemed to work.
I don't know about switching over without a washout period. If these doctors are willing to talk beyond theory and demonstrate safety with their own patients already on the cycling regime, perhaps I would consider it. Otherwise, I don't know if I would take a chance. One of my doctors had someone blow-out a blood vessel in his brain after switching from Nardil to Parnate before 14 days had passed - 10 days, if I recall accurately. Be careful when coming off Nardil. It takes longer for the MAO system to recover according to a Medline abstract I read years ago. I don't know why. Of course, if you are to switch over without a washout period, this is not relevant.
Good luck and stay safe.
