> 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.

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.

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%.
