You are probably going to receive varying opinions on this. Mine is conservative. I think it is important to wait at least 10 days between drugs. This is probably more important when going from Nardil to Parnate than vice versa. Some experienced doctors feel that even 10 days isn't enough and prefer to wait 14. The risk of having a stroke is very real. One of my doctors actually saw this happen with a collegue's patient.
