In the old days when I used to try a "holiday" and survive without Parnate (before I discovered I need it daily and probably for the rest of my life), I followed the withdrawal schedule my pdoc gave me:
Going down from 40 mg maintenance dose:
30 mg. for one week,
20 mg. for one week,
10 mg. for one week,
then zero.NEVER had a problem. My only noticeable changes were an increase in the need to sleep (conversely, Parnate reduces my need for sleep) plus a change my dreams--seemingly, they became more vivid. But, as one poster said, withdrawing from Parnate has always been uneventful.
