Thank you Justherself54. Were the brain zaps intolerable? Did they last the whole day? I've had them before (when discontinuing an SSRI), and I found them annoying, but I'd probably put up with them if I were able to recover my previous weight faster.
What are the other side effects that you couldn't tolerate? What happened to you weight once the Nardil washed out completely? Did you lose the weight?
I am on my 4th day of tapering off. First 3 days I reduced 1 pill (I was on 60mgs, so I went down to 45mg) Today's my first day on 30mgs. Nothing yet. I will continue this way.. until I'm off completely.
Did Nardil work out for you at all, Justherself54? Why did you decide to quit it? Did you augment it?
Thanks in advance for any info,
Girl78
> I went off it by 15 mg per week..even at that I had constant brain zaps after reducing the first pill...I gained 30 pounds in 6 months...and I was overweight to begin with...plus other side effects that I couldn't tolerate. The brain zaps were the only thing I experienced and they continued for a couple of weeks afterwards. I don't think I could have done it faster...
