I think my washout period for cymbalta was 4 to 5 weeks, but I took other meds to help me through it - 50mg of desipramine and klonopin as needed. It wasn't great but I made it. I'm now in my third week on selegiline and I'm starting to feel some benefit. I'm winding down the desipramine now.
The transition wasn't great but it was worth it. I was lucky that I didn't have to work much though so it could have been much worse. Anyway, perhaps you doctor could put you on something, like desipramine, to get you through the washout period before an MAOI.
