Should I do the same with the Parnate?I am told by clinicians at NYU that they have had several cases of stroke when patients switched MAOIs without a 14-day washout period. I am alarmed enough by their accounts and a few abstracts on Medline/Pubmed not to try what your doctor is suggesting. I never heard of such a thing - a doctor prescribing a direct switch from Naardil to Parnate. I hope your doctor has personal experience with this MAOI switching maneuver.
1 pill of Nardil = 1 pill of Parnate. Easy.
