> Could I switch to a TCA or an MAOI and not have to taper the paxil? Could I just swap them out?
I would first taper to 5mg for one week, then 2.5mg for one week.
With a TCA- you could commence the TCA at a low dose. You may have elevated TCA blood levels for several weeks due to effects of the SSRI.
With the MAOI, you would absolutely need a 2-week washout period.
