Hi, I have been taking parnate 30 mg, and want to go off fast to try a stimulant ... does anyone have the appropriate dosing-down schedule?

I've had plenty of experience with Parnate. You should never rush going off any AD. When I used to take Parnate, if I was on 40 mg. for example, I'd decrease it to 30 mg. and stay on that for one full week, then 20 mg. for one full week, then 10 for one week, then stop.
But where's your doctor? HE'S (she?) is the person you should ask. Whoever prescribed this potent antidepressant for you should know how you'd best taper off.
