> Hi Ed,
> Thanks for posting this. I recently went down from 60 mg to 45 mg of Nardil due to peripheral edema. I experienced the following from your list that might be considered withdrawal: > headache, irritability, anger, stiff neck (at least according to the massage therapist), hypersomnia, sensitivity to sound and light, lack of energy, abnormal movements in sleep eg. of legs.

Some of these symptoms could also represent a return of depression. I would say that most people with severe depression don't do well at dosages below 60mg.
