I had a friend who was taking some SSRI (can't recall which) and it was not working. She was depressed all the time. When I suggested parnate, she said she was afraid of the washout. Why? The SSRI wasn't working, so how would two weeks without the SSRI make anything worse than it was?
I did a 14 day washout before starting parnate and was a complete and utter mess - needed to be hospitalized. But honestly, I needed to be hospitalized even before they decided to start me on parnate. Lexapro was just not working at all. So I can't say I was any worse during the washout than before it.
