Yeah, that was my thought too. Two weeks seemed very optimistic!

Perhaps they're allowing a two-week washout to allow the option to use an MAOI, but I sincerely doubt it.

> Well, in this sample of one, after 8 years of prozac and zyprexa I settled into a baseline somewhere in the 3 to 4 month range after the last dose following a slow weaning, where my last dose was about 1/8mg zyprexa and 1mg prozac.

And who knows what. Immune system even. It is a whole body thing, not just as simple as making sure the last molecule of the drug is gone. The bodily adjustments I believe take months, not weeks, and that the previous baseline will never be repeated, because some things were changed permanently.
