If it were Nardil, I think it's more important to not drop it cold turkey, but the advice to taper is probably still good. I tapered Nardil from 7 pills/day to 0 at 1 pill every three days and found this barely tolerable. However, Parnate is not as likely to hit with you with REM rebound as Nardil, which I found particularly nasty. I would still suggest not dropping the Parnate any faster than 1 pill every 3 days unless this lethargy is absolutely unbearable. Sorry it didn't work out for you. Parnate is turning out to be very neutral for me and relatively tolerable. Perhaps selegiline might be a better choice for you? I believe most people do find it more activating than Parnate, in some cases, ridiculously so.
