I was considering stopping my Prozac so that by the next time I see my pdoc I can ask for the Parnate or maybe try emsam. I was reading that you had to stop taking your SSRI's for two weeks to start an MAOI...then I read that there have been several deaths reported when people began Parnate after taking Prozac even if they waited two weeks. Because of that, it is recommended that you discontinue Prozac for at least 5 weeks before beginning an MAOI.
Has anyone else heard of this? Is 5 weeks long enough without the Prozac?? Reading this has really freaked me out.
