Stopping and restarting Nardil does work. Since you have decided to discontinue the Nardil in favor of other avenues, you will have a great opportunity to reintroduce it in the future. I would give it at least a month before going back to it. The last time I heard of this strategy working for somebody, they were off it for three months. In addition, switching between Nardil and Parnate often works. My doctor has had a patient for whom he switches between Nardil and Parnate as each begins to poop-out on him.
Good luck.
* I had posted an answer to this question to you a few weeks ago. For some reason, it never showed up. I had become too depressed to later follow-up on it.
I have an appointment to see a new doctor on Friday. It was my intention to go in to him taking nothing but Lamictal 300mg. I wanted to give him a clean slate to work with. Two weeks ago, I decided that it was in my best interests to intervene by starting a combination of Parnate and desipramine. I have begun to feel better.
