tazziedave66 Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 hi, dave here from Australia ive been on nardil since 1999 , it hasn't been working for me so around 12 months ago I decided to go down on the dosage ..unlucky for me im very sensitive to dose reduction , I worked out through trial and error that the fastest I could reduce it to avoid withdrawals (for me chronic dreaming fatigue ,tiredness) was around 1/4 of one tablet every 4 weeks ..so im half way to being off it . all good so far .

Administrator Altostrata Posted July 9, 2012 Administrator Share Posted July 9, 2012 tazziedave, I moved your posts here to start your Introductions topic, where you can put updates and questions about your condition. How much Nardil are you taking now? This is not medical advice. Discuss any decisions about your medical care with a knowledgeable medical practitioner.

Moderator Emeritus Petunia Posted August 9, 2014 Moderator Emeritus Share Posted August 9, 2014 Welcome back tazziedave, Thank you for the update, why were you started on Nardil in 1999? How many mg of Nardil are you on now? Are you experiencing any withdrawal symptoms? As you get lower in dose, you may find that that symptoms increase and you need to go even slower, some people find this. To help us out, please put your withdrawal history in your signature. See these instructions: http://survivingantidepressants.org/index.php?/topic/893-please-put-your-withdrawal-history-in-your-signature/ Petu. I'm not a doctor. My comments are not medical advise. These are my opinions based on my own experience and what I've learned. Please discuss your situation with a medical practitioner who has knowledge of tapering and withdrawal...if you are lucky enough to find one.
