I've been on and off Nardil so often, I seem not to experience withdrawal symptoms anymore, even with a rapid taper. I might experience some REM rebound. I'll let you know the extent to which anxiety is a component of withdrawal. I am expecting to take a week to taper Nardil and then wait two weeks before adding Viibryd, a serotonin uptake inhibitor. Viibryd was expected to be anxiolytic, but it turns out to be a better antidepressant. You might consider it, as you might experience an improvement in depression and anxiety.

I dream of things that never were and ask why not.
