I was on 60 mg of Parnate for over two years and my Pdoc had me quit "cold turkey." I wasn't exactly thrilled with the idea. I posted to pBabble but didn't hear anything that discouraged me.
I had some rather bizarre dreams for a week or so, other than that it was really not eventful. It's been 2 months now so I'm not expecting any remainders.
As a caveat, I only hard a partial response from the Parnate anyway. And of course, YMMV.
