I had a very bad experience coming off of Parnate. I came off of it too quickly (from 70mg to zero in about two weeks) and it really screwed me up. I just remember walking down the street in absolute misery and having to stop at one point and just stand there paralyzed like a heroine addict. And when I went back on it I found that it was never again as effective as before I stopped taking it.
MAOIs are very good (at least Parnate was for me), but my advice would be to taper off of them as slowly as possible if you do have to stop.
