Depending on the condition of the patient, there are two scenarios possible:
# Gradually reduce dosage of paroxetine to a maximum of 20 mg/day, and then stop administration abruptly.
# Phase out paroxetine from 20 mg/day, to 10 mg/day for one week, and then stop administration abruptly.
| start =
* Both scenarios are followed by a wash-out period of one week.
* Then the administration of tranylcypromine can be started in normal dosage of 20 mg/day.
| info =
* A switch from paroxetine to tranylcypromine is not obvious, given the necessary prolonged wash-out period in this case.
* Occurrence of serotonin syndrome is reported when a wash-out period is not considered.}}
