Problems With Switching Rapidly From One MAOI to Another

J Clin Psychiatry 1998;59(2):87-87

Article Abstract

Sir: Szuba et al. described relatively trouble-free outcomes in 8 patients switched rapidly from one MAOI to another MAOI. They were appropriately cautious about advocating such a treatment strategy, although their review uncovered only two prior case reports of difficulties with a rapid switch. However, the literature does contain at least 4 additional cases in which a rapid switch was poorly tolerated.

From the Editors

Episode 17 The JCP Podcast Up to 80% of patients with serious mental illness may not take medication as prescribed, so what looks like treatment failure can actually be pseudoresistance. This conversation makes a sharp case for treating deprescribing with the same planning, monitoring, and shared decision-making as prescribing in the first place.
