I stopped because I was tired of scrutinizing everything I put in my mouth when I went to friends and relatives homes or restaurants. Plus the ignorance of other docs about these med's is astounding - you have to put up with doc's not knowing how to treat you for other things and then discouraging you from using it. Whe I had a h/t crisis and the EMT's came to my house to take me to the hospital, they didn't understand what my problem was. Although my neighbor, a RN, and both me and my husband repeated it to them several times. They wanted to treat me for an allergic reaction to an ingested food and inject me with adrenalin, or whatever it is they use!
I feel however, that both drugs are very worthwhile and had I not used them I would never believe that a drug could truly treat my problem. They have been the standard by which I've held all other med's and none have measured up - yet.
Getting off of them wasn't so terrible for me, however I do not suffer from depression. I took myself off of it (no doctor involved) and did it slowly over the course of a few weeks. It did cause nightmares and depression, however I never missed a day of work and continued about my life.
I found Parnate was just as effective as Nardil with few if any negative side effects, most of the s/e's were quite positive.
Good Luck
