In the past, when I have lowered to 45mg to try and reduce side effects; I have felt my depression start to worsen after a few weeks. When this happens I will immediately jump back up to 60mg to stop the downward spiral. By comparison, when I have stopped Nardil completely, it has usually taken several months before a full blown major depression hits. I have generally only stopped Nardil completely when I have been feeling very good or for trials of other medications. I always taper slowly, but the depression always returns. I have probably been very lucky that I have always been able to regain the antidepressant effect of the drug upon restarting. At least I have one medication that works for me, it is not perfect, but I have to have it. I have been on 45+ different combinations of antidepressants and augmenters. This is the only one that has ever worked for me long term.
Be well,
Jedi
