How to phase out Nardil

Posted by Marginal on April 25, 2003, at 16:32:08

I'm going off Nardil for 2 minor medical procedures. As few non-pdocs have even heard of MAOIs (exageration), both surgeons want me off Nardil for the procedures.

I will go back on afterwards.

But how do I tirate down from 75 mg without too many reactions? How long? thx

Hi Marginal,

I'm currently going down 15 mg every 3 days. No big probs, only a bit of zapping in the head, and maybe insomnia.
But it seems depression is returning and fear. I'm so sad to leave Nardil. It was a brilliant AD but fell short in the OCD departement and a little short with my anxiety.

All the very best to you.

Ace.
