It took only a week or so for it to work. I started @60mg, and stayed @ 60mg (all 4 pills at one time, in the morning) after a week or so there was a profound change in my depression/social anxiety. I went from borderline agoraphobic to what I consider "cured"

I also found that a beta-blocker helps (for the physical social anxiety symptoms)

FWIW, the typical effective dose is 60mg, for depression and Social phobia...I think the dose Cosis recomended (75-90) is not typical, although definitely not a rarity. In fact I found that the side-effects were more pronounced at doses over 60mg..although I have had VERY few, if any side-effects.

I believe the half-life is about 3 hours (average) but once you have achieved adequate MAO inhibition, this half-life becomes less important.

as far as REM sleep, the only time I dream (or remember dreaming) is when I miss a dose, and I have nightmares. I don't know what the consequences of suppressed REM sleep are specifically. In my experience, during the first few weeks of taking Nardil, I experienced "sleep attacks" during the day, where I would get intensely sleepy. This passed quickly.
