I know it never fully pooped out because when I did stop it my SP came back with a vengance! But it just wasn't good enough. Plus I started having complications - one of which was numb fingers. I put this down to B6 deficiency at first (caused by Nardil) & B6 supplement did help for a long time. But after a while the numbness came back.

It would start in my little finger, then progress to my ring finger, then my middle finger... If I'd stop what I was doing and shake out my hands, after a while it would go away. If I didn't stop, it would start hurting all the up my arm -- a LOT -- like I hit my funny bone really hard. That was a while back, I'd forgotten about that.
And yeah, I thought Nardil had pooped-out a lot more than it had when I quit, because all that old social anxiety just cames right back. It's so frustrating. But the fatigue/weakness/sleepiness on Nardil was just beyond absurd. It doesn't really matter how socially phobic you are if you sleep 18-20 hours a day, and that's not even including naps. ;)
Parnate helps a lot with social anxiety, but it doesn't have that magic Nardil pro-social effect. Does Marplan have any pro-social benefit?
