In reply to how long does MAOI withdrawal last?, posted by g_g_g_unit on August 25, 2012, at 7:35:54

> I'm in hell. I'd forgotten how bad MAOI withdrawal (Parnate) is. I tapered down 10mg every 3 days from 60mg. Took last dose a week ago. Since then, I've felt totally wired, depersonalized, suicidal, agitated, sick (flu-like symptoms) and, worst of all, cannot sleep properly.
>
> I was taking 1.5mg of Klonopin at night while on Parnate but it didn't do anything for sleep or anxiety anyway (and felt depressogenic) so I cut back to 1.25mg as well, but I don't feel like that's particularly contributing to my symptoms.

> Anyway, I have a masochistic streak, so tend to just push through this kind of stuff rather than bridge/complicate things with more Rx's. Waiting for p-doc to return from vacation and start Memantine on September 7th.
>
> Taurine is helping the daytime anxiety. Just wish I could sleep. If I add 5mg of Valium to the Klonopin, I'm set, which my p-doc said to continue with, but isn't withdrawing from two benzos (at whatever point in the future) kinda asking for trouble (not to mention the conflicting half-lives, etc.)?
