Found one site claiming Marplan to have a half life of about 36 hours!
http://www.mind.org.uk/information-support/drugs-and-treatments/antidepressants-a-z/isocarboxazid/Wiki shows nothing but a question mark lol.
When I 1st took Nardil, from what I recall Nardil's half-life was 2-3hrs! That was wiki. I'm sure RX list said the same. Maybe further studies proved that to be wrong. Or perhaps I am mistaken.
This is an interesting statement:
"The irreversible MAOIs are rapidly absorbed and generally quickly eliminated, with plasma elimination half-lives of 1.54 hours.35,43 However, because of their irreversible inhibition of MAO, the physiological effects of phenelzine, isocarboxazid, and tranylcypromine persist for up to 23 weeks.13 Thus, their pharmacodynamic half-life is greater than the pharmacokinetic half-life alone would suggest."
