> It seems to me that you need this medication. You could substitute another MAOI, but if you're trying to quit, you wouldn't want to do that, and in that case I would suggest going back to 3 tablets until you feel all right, and at that point, try dropping ½ a tablet.

> -undopaminergicIts clear to me that I need an MAOI. Upon reinstating Nardil after surgery, it failed to work again after 12 weeks. So my plan is to d/c Nardil, washout for two weeks, then try Marplan. Its in my cupboard. Also, the weight gain and cognitive blunting with Nardil have become serious issues.
I took a 3rd tab an hour ago and my w/d symptoms have subsided a bit. Did not know that Nardil tablets could be split. I like your suggestion of going back to 3 tabs then drop by 1/2. Why torture myself.
Nardil worked very well for me for 3 years. I took 30mg in the morn, then another 30 around 11/12pm. It was great for energy, I could work out, clean, etc for a couple of hours after each dose. But I couldnt think clearly (paperwork wasnt getting done), and the weight gain was causing serious health problems. Lots of joint pain too.
Anyway, thanks for the suggestion :)
