sorry about weight gain, I'm in the same boat as you but I can't stop Nardil since nothing else has ever worked for me except marplan but not the last time I tried it. It is too risky for me to stop and I just have to be fat and live with it or die and be thin or even just normal for now. I have tried to lose weight but I can't stay with anything long enough to lose. In some ways I blame myself for not being able to lose the weight on my own. I have never been overweight by more than 10 lbs or so in my life and now I have gained around 30#. You the same?
As far as stopping it, with Marplan I went cold turkey once since the drug was discontinued and I wasn't able to taper down. I would try to cut back 15 mg every 2 or 3 days as a guide line.
Sorry I don't have any documentation of how to reduce dosage. Have you tried to google this?
