Nardil Maintenance Dose

Posted by pedr on October 3, 2011, at 23:37:06

Hi PB-ers,
I am a long time Nardil-er but I want to reduce its side-effects so I have gradually weaned myself down from 90mg to 45mg.
I have not heard anyone talking about "maintenance dose" Nardil. This is an old technique based on the "bath tub" model of certain AD's mechanics. Essentially the theory is that once sufficient levels of neurotransmitters have been stockpiled (maoi == bath plug, water level == amount of neurotransmitter), the tap (intake of AD) can be turned down to such a level as to compensate for the small amount of water leaking past the plug. Phew!
Generally these days it seems frowned upon for some reason. Has anyone tried decreasing their dose to say, 30 mg or 15 mg or even less? If so, what did they find?
Thanks,
Pedr
