In reply to getting off of nardil... tips?, posted by pallor on July 25, 2009, at 15:07:05
Hi Pallor,
I have tapered off of what was a 4 med cocktail down to one med (Doxepin 3.04mg).
The key is to taper 10% of current dose every 3 to 6 weeks or longer depending on how your body feels. I can hear people groaning on this board but sticking to this schedule has enabled me to have some quality of life. For example, I have been able to work which wouldn't have happened if I had tapered too quickly.
I keep posting about this but for some reason, not too many people on this board believe me. To be honest, I was reluctant to reply but I keep hoping someone will listen.
I would slowly reinstate the dose. I don't know what doses Nardil comes in but for example, if the lowest is 10mg, try that and stop at the dose you feel good at. Once you are stable, then slowly taper as I suggest.
If you are really interested in tapering slowly, I can tell you how to do it.
I have nothing to sell as I am just tired of people suffering needlessly. But just understand I am not a medical professional.
