I didn't. I recently switched from Nardil to Parnate. I had been at 90 mg of Nardil (I weigh about 200) but was hospitalized due to bradycardia so my doctor cut my dosage to 60 mg. I wasn't really impressed with my doctor's knowledge of MAOIs in general so I switched to someone that has more experience with them. I was taking such a low (for me) dose of Nardil it wasn't doing anything for me. I didn't even have any of the side effects anymore. My new doctor had me ramp down on the Nardil and up on the Parnate simultaneously:

Wk 1: 40 mg Nardil, 10 mg Parnate
Wk 2: 30 mg Nardil, 20 mg Parnate
Wk 3: 20 mg Nardil, 40 mg Parnate
Wk 4: 0 mg Nardil, 60 mg Parnate

In reality though, I ran out of Nardil about two days into it, and didn't refill it. So I wound up quitting the Nardil cold turkey and ramping up on the Parnate. About the only things I've noticed so far, good or bad, are tremendous fatigue and insomnia (as evidenced by my being awake in bed and typing this at almost 3 am).

Good luck,
TJ
