Kara,
I recently tried to taper from 60 mg to 45mg of Nardil. One thing I noticed that others have posted is significant REM rebound. Wowsa, the dreams! Not really a problem, just lots and lots of dreams. Good fodder for therapy, though! :)I also had a terrible tension headache and significant tension in my neck and shoulders for a few days. One place I looked for info. ( I can't remember where) seemed to indicate that this might be due to withdrawal, but it could also be associated with the increased depression I felt. Now I'm at 52.5 mg (3.5 tabs) to try to taper much slower. The reason I wanted to decrease is that I get edema at 60 mg, and it is so depressing to be so puffy and see the weigth gain, even if I know it's water.
