Scott,
I will definitely keep you informed on this thread.Just wanted to say that for many people,discontinuing and restarting a med is fairly easy to do.
In my case I dont dare change anything. When I just reduced parnate slightly, it stopped working altogether, and I became seriously ill. I increased it up to 40 mg but it didnt make any difference.
When I added 2.5 mg olanzapine to it, it started to work again, so I slowly reduced the olanzapine, and the whole thing stopped working again.
Same with nardil, when I reduced it by just 15 mg, I became totally ill, and it would take 8 weeks to get back to how I was before.
What I am trying to say is that what works for most people, does not work for me - I have no idea why. This is really why I started this thread in the first place. I guess everyone reacts differently, but I do have to be so careful re. reducing anything. For example I would dearly like to reduce the 2.5 mg olanzapine which I am still on, but dont dare do it, in case I return to how I was before.
