I don't plan on lowering Nardil anytime soon. I might go down from 45 to 30 to minimize side effects but believe me, if I start losing the effectiveness I'll go right back up.
OTOH, what could it hurt to try it? If I went down to 30 for a while and was maintaining remission, then I might be willing to try going down to 15 and just see if I could maintain remission on that dose. If I lose my remission, I can always go back up to 30 or 45 if necessary.
As to whether it's a myth or not, I need to have things proven to me. I have to try it for myself. And why not try taking the lowest dose possible - to minimize side effects and the liver enzyme problem?
I just don't know yet. I'll have to take it one day at a time and just see what happens. I'm still only at 7 and a half weeks and I'm pretty much in full remission at 45mg. Maybe at 12 weeks, I'll go down to 30mg and see what happens.
