> This is an unusual thread--we don't often see posts here about MAOI withdrawal. Just curious--why did you try coming off the med. so fast? Was it your decision or your doctor's?
I came off of Parnate b/c I was planning to have an elective surgery and Parnate and general anesthesia don't mix. I didn't tell my doctor that I was going to stop taking Parnate, so the decisions to stop and to stop so quickly were mine. I knew that the sensible thing would have been to taper more slowly, but I was feeling a bit reckless. So, in other words, there was no good reason to stop so quickly.
