EMERGENCY!!! I need to switch from Wellbutrin to Parnate quickly…

Question:

Hi, I have been taking Wellbutrin for several months and it’s no longer adequate to relieve depression.  I have been taking a 400 mg total daily dose. I have taken Parnate in the past and, despite the potential dangers and the hesitant doctors, it’s still the best of them all, esp. if you have a lot of trouble with anergia. My doctor authorized me to take Parnate once again but she wants me to wait 10 days and I don’t think I am going to be able to do it, friends. When I get off meds, I turn into a RUTABAGA.  I can feel this happening already, even though I d/c’d the Wellbutrin only 3 days ago. Do I REALLY need to wait 10 days or is this just a real conservative measure?  Does anyone know definitively how shortly I can take the Parnate after ending Wellbutrin without horrendous complications? If someone knows DEFINITIVELY, please let me know.  I don’t want to end up in triage. Thanks friends.

Why don’t you try something less dangerous? B
