How long to wait after taking an SSRI before taking a MAOI/psychedelic?

Title says it all, sorry if this has been asked before (as it would seem like a common question?) but I can't seem to find a precise answer anywhere.

I'm taking fluoxetine daily (took a dose at 12pm today) and would like to take some aMT tomorrow evening. How long do I need to wait before I won't lose any effect from the aMT or suffer any interactions with it being a MAOI?

Cheers
 
aMT is a fairly weak MAOI, however it is a serotonin releasing agent as well (actually, it is a triple releasing agent, releasing serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine - similar to MDMA and/or methaphetamine). I would take the same precautions as combining your SSRI with amphetamine or MDMA, and be aware your experience may be greatly dulled.

Prozac has a wonderful half life of 4-6 days with chronic usage, so ideally you'd have to wait several months. 2 or 3 weeks would be a good start.
