Thanks. I don't think it's really courage. It more of a "I have no choice because it's this or nothing".
My pdoc has been using MAOIs since they came out. He is in 60's! I took 30 mg of Parnate and 30 of Nardil. Tomorrow I can stop the Parnate altogether and take 30mg of Nardil in the morning and 30mg at night. I will let you know how it goes.

I was planning to speak with my doctor about switching to Parnate, but the tapering and washout period seemed like it would be difficult. What did your doc say about being on both at the same time? What dose are you on of Parnate and what dose of Nardil are you starting?
