I've been on nardil for 30 yrs. Decreased dose from 60 mg. to 45mg. 3 months ago. It's a rough go but trying to deal with it and things seem to be improving. I find apathy is just as bad with the higher dose as it is with the lower. I want to take care of apathy with my brain and not my mood.

I think A slow decrease might help you but I wouldn't do it without a doctors supervision.

I’ve been on phenelzine for 23 yrs now they’ve kept me well I was in hospital for a year wityb severe clinical depression and had to get ECT last year phenelzine was in short supply and my physiatrist said I would need to come off them over a period of two weeks .. I take 6 a day , she was wanting to put me on another drug that I was given in hospital that didn’t help me. I stuck with the phenelzine told her that was only drug made me well thankfully the chemist manage to source phenelzine for me . I would never be without this medicine now even though it had diet restrictions and you have to be very careful buying medicines out the chemist as well incase they interact within phenelzine if this happens there’s a possibility with your blood pressure rising so high you could take a stroke. This medicine saved my life .

So I’m not sure I understand? You were on nardil and than you got off of it and now your trying to go back on?

It's been 16 months off nardil for me now and I'm still suffering immensely. I've tried to reinstate nardil at a low dose but it makes my symptoms worse. Withdrawal from nardil can be brutal for years. If I were you I'd stay on nardil.
