Did you try taking Nardil long enough, and if the side effects are too severe to continue at all...
Did you try any medications or methods to relieve the most troublesome side effects? (Such as increased sodium intake and/or diabetic socks and/or another drug for the postural hypotension; or a low-dose stimulant such as Ritalin for fatigue [and hypotension, too].
Honestly, i would try to give it at least 4 to 6 weeks to see if the side effects lessen before you quit. i know it's easy for me to say, but, yeah-- cuz oftentimes they subside with time.
Also, did you try an NMDA antagonist like memantine to try revamping the Parnate (i don't know if this actually works, but according to what many have said, and some research, it might)? Did you try taking brief, intermittent breaks (however many days until you start to feel depressed and/or whatever else again) from the Parnate to see if this minimized the poop-out effect? (i don't know if this would work either but there's a decent possiblity it would.) i don't know-- just some things to think about.
Good luck. Don't give up. The technology to help is advancing every year-- almost every month. i believe you will find something that helps you-- something that lasts.
