>Cymbalta's half life is 11 hours so should probably be okay with small dosages.
The manufacturer recommends waiting 5 days before starting an MAOI. This may be overcautious with moclobemide but it's better to be safe than sorry.
>It seems to make sense to start Moclobemide first (before a traditional MAOI), because its only 2 days to start a new medication if it fails (rather than 2 weeks), and if it works well it has a low documented side effect profile.
I agree, that definitely makes sense.
