I went off of Nardil on January 1st. It was very difficult to get at the time and I discussed with my doctor and we both agreed. I was on 22 mg. a day. I cut it back to 15mg for a couple of days and then took only .5 Clonaxepam at night. After 14 days, I started Paxil. I started having nightmares and nausea, so after two days, I was switched to Effexor XR- 37.5 mg.
I have been on this for almost a week. I am having some shakiness in the morning, but after the medication kicks in, I feel better. I still take the .5 Clonazepam at night. The mornings seems to be getting better.
I had been on Nardil for almost 17 years. I was somewhat scared to come off of it, but it wasn't very hard. The hardest part was the 14 days before I could take something else. I am very sensitive to medications, so I wasn't ever on a high dosage of Nardil. I see my doctor next Friday and will know more then.
