> Thank you for the suggestion. So far I've done 1 pill per week, under the guidance of my doctor, and it hasn't been too bad. But I know coming off of those last 2 pills will be the most difficult. I just want it out of my system, you know? But I'll take it slow if I find that the side effects are too much to handle. I definitely will consider cutting the pills in half - thank goodness for pill cutters!!

Wow, 1 pill a week is pretty fast! I started at 1 pill every two weeks and had to stop primarily because of extreme anxiety. The effects of going off Nardil didn't really start until I was almost completely off it. I've been totally off it for 3 months now, and I'm still sick! This is no longer withdrawals!I really hope you don't have to go through what many others have with thsi medication - if you wait until the symptoms show up, it's already too late. THe only other recourse would be to either deal with it for how ever many months it will take to be over with, or increase your dosage until the symptoms go away and then start weaning off again, but this time MUCH slower!
