I thought everyone knew that Nardil manipulated GABA in a positive way. When I was on Nardil & 1.5mg clonazepam, I decided to stop the benzo. And my pdoc reasured me that being on 90mg Nardil meant I could simply stop the clonazepam without tapering. He was right. From what I remember one of Nardil's metabolites is responsible for its pro-GABA effects.
I now take the MAOI Marplan (isocarboxazid), another hydrazine derivative but which has no such effect on GABA. Hence why I need 4mg clonazepam daily.Social Phobia, Major Depression (TRD)
Isocarboxazid 90mg
Clonazepam 4mg
Bupropion PR 300mg
Quetiapine MR 100mg + 25mg IR at night
