Marplan to Parnate -washout time?

Posted by JaclinHyde on May 21, 2006, at 16:30:24

Anyone know how long I would have to be off Marplan before re-starting Parnate? The Marplan is working like it always did but the weight gain is unacceptable. I want to go back to Parnate (with hubby controlling my pills so that I can't abuse it again. Hell, it almost killed me so I know I won't do that again but having him give me my pills is a just an extra measure of protection!) This is why I wanted to know Marplan's half-life (see other post.) I have never had to switch between MAOI's like this before so I need someone's input. Thanks in advance!

Yes, in truth Parnate wasn't the problem it was me. I am Bipolar II and I loved the Parnate activation too much. So I started to take it like little orange M&M's, popping them whenever I pleased. On top of that I was taking a lot of Aleve for a toothache which is another blood thinner. This led me to come down with ITP or idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura which basically means that my platelets stopped functioning. I was extremely lucky in that it didn't affect my brain (although some say it did, lol!) meaning I had no bleeds in it judging by both a CAT scan and an MRI. Anyway, the drug did work for me and if I take it like a normal human being which I plan on doing (I don't have a death wish) plus with the help of my hubby I know I can go back on it. I love the Marplan but I have gained about 10lbs in the past 2 weeks (no lie) and that is just not something I can live with. If Marplan was my only choice then believe me I wouldn't give a damn about the pounds but I know that Parnate did not make me gain weight and in fact helped me loose.

Sorry for writing a novel :-)
