> I stopped Parnate cold turkey and suffered no ill effects. Also, some people take Nardil for 2 weeks and then stop it (the lucky ones who don't need a maintenance dose).
I believe I would experience those big brain 'zaps' for quite some time if i stopped cold turkey. also, a general feeling of malaise.

> I think you will get different responses to your question. Considering you didn't do well that last time you stopped it, maybe you should taper.Yeah, but quickly. If depress has to return, whether slow or fast taper, I'd rather go through fast taper and get the depression out of the way ASAP.

> What do you think you should do? What if you stop cold turkey and if you suffer PHYSICAL problems take 30 mg and then bring it down from there. No matter what you do you are going to suffer psychologically no matter what (from what you have experienced in the past when you stopped it).You are spot on i think. A depressive period is a reall possibility....but I have to suffer in order to feel good again -- once i let my brain 'refresh' and become sensitive (post-synapic receptors) to Nardil again (around 3-4 months off) my doctor is absolutely sure the Nardil brilliance will come back 100%.
