When I first tried to get off Nardil, I went too fast. It was not pretty-I was up to 105 or 120mg (I only started to feel the positive effects at 90mg). I think I tried dropping a couple of tablets at first and I started crying like a baby a day or two later. When I went more slowly it was much better, although I still suffered some effects- "electrical zaps" and nightmares.
I understand the apathy with some drugs. Wellbutrin doesn't cause me any problems in that regard and neither did Nardil; it unfortunately stopped working. At that point there wasn't much point in continuing with the dietary restrictions and the insomnia it caused. However, I understand it works for some people- good for them.
