Thought I'd add my 2 cents, despite being sooo late!
I've only come off Nardil once, after 18 months use. It was planned (was switching meds) but i developed a virus at the same time. NASTY! Maybe not a direct cause, but I feel my immune system may have become over-burdoned. I rarely had as much as a sniffle on Nardil.
Other, more direct symptomes were: on/off depression, worsening of Social Phobia, SEVERE worsening of OCD, paranoia (scared of the dark!), and an unsteady physical/mental balance.This all got progressively worse until I got a med back inside me. One thing which was particularly strong was a kind of 'wake up' from Nardil, as if I could feel its psychotropic mechanism 'leave' me. Bear in mind that I'd never been on a med as long as Nardil, niether had anything 'changed' my personality so much.
And I just cann't forget to mention the nice part of it all - the full return of easy orgasm, AND THEN SOME!
Don't get me wrong - it's ALL worth it BELIEVE!
I'm back on Nardil now.
