> The pdoc told me to taper Effexor from 300 mg. to 150 mg. right away which i did. He told me to stay on the 150 mg. dose for five days, then to taper to 75 mg. for seven days. I am supposed to take the first pill of Parnate on day eight which will be the next week around Tuesday. I think this is a quite abrupt switch, and i told him about that: he replied i shouldn't worry about it.
I agree with you. I'd give it at least a 5-day washout. Parnate and Effexor together can cause the "serotonin syndrome" even if not taken in overdose.
