I agree with the other posters who have expressed a concern that you might relapse into a severe depression should you discontinue the Nardil. I have found that the weight gain with Nardil is more a result of increased calorie consumption (carbohydrate cravings) than of a change in metabolism. Of course, I am describing only one person's experience. I have also found that Zyprexa produces as much weight gain at lower dosages as it does at higher dosages. Zyprexa produces a disturbance in glucose dynamics and is probably harder to manage body weight while taking it because of this. Of course, Zyprexa can also increase dramatically one's sense of hunger and reduce their sense of satiety.
You might be tempting the fate of many by discontinuing too often an effective antidepressant only to see treatment resistance emerge. You've been lucky so far...
