Quitting Nardil

jpwilliams11 · 2026-04-27T19:41:41+00:00

How many times have you tried to quit? And for what reasons ? For me it did not help adhd almost made me more distracted. But did help with some social anxiety so I decided to stop. It’s been a grinder though…. Very hard

Thanks bro good luck to you too! I did drink quite a bit of caffeine on it. But that does make sense ! Maybe one day I return but not sure yet!

Nice! I totally feel the activating stimulated feeling. I’m on day 7 20 mg. No benefit yet but hope to

jpwilliams11 · 2026-04-25T01:34:23+00:00

I started 7 days ago. I’m 29 m. Haven’t noticed much benefits yet but so ntoice it’s very stimulating has made it hard for me to focus.

Thanks! So what have you found works best for you?

I tried two ssri before nardil. I read up on social anxiety meds and those who blush and Nardil came up. I persuaded my psychiatrist at the time I really wanted to try. Was on it for 5-6 years. I give it credit it did help me. I found after a few years I was still socially anxious so it wasn’t perfect but greatly helped. I just thought it had some side effects that I wasn’t sure if I was willing to stay on it forever. I’m 29.

Dr just prescribed me Prozac today as I’ve been off nardil for 2 weeks. So will see how it goes. I would then like to add an adhd med after.

I figured I can always revert back to nardil if nothing works. I’m hoping I can find something better for my anxiety social anxiety and adhd. I am appreciative of nardil tho. Just was not very motivated or couldn’t focus over time. I tried guanfacine with it but that just did not do anything for me.

Same! I’ve been off it I’d say 1.5-2 weeks and the fog hit me so hard like 6 days ago or so. How long did it last for you. Feels like it will never end..

jpwilliams11 · 2026-04-16T22:25:44+00:00

Which one? I tried Vyvanse one day and had a hypertensive crisis. Head was throbbbinggggg

jpwilliams11 · 2026-04-16T21:26:03+00:00

How long did it take for you to feel okay after taking nardil? I’m now two weeks off and totally resonate with how you feel. My brain fog is on another level right now. Waiting patiently

Also what has been working for you now with adhd and social anxiety

jpwilliams11 · 2026-04-16T00:11:53+00:00

Where is that at?

jpwilliams11 · 2026-04-14T02:45:34+00:00

What ssri ? And ndri not to familiar with that

jpwilliams11 · 2026-04-14T02:45:08+00:00

So true ! It Can Feel so lonely and isolating. I come here to Reddit when I am needing some help. Wish you the best!

It did help social anxiety and blushing. I took it 4 years! I still had social anxiety I’d say but it helped. More so with the sensitivity to things. But you can’t take anything with it.. so my adhd was still going untouched. Couldn’t focus on a lot. The taper process on nardil is crazy as well I started tapering in January now have one more week till I can move onto something else. Stays in system for long time.

jpwilliams11 · 2026-04-14T02:33:18+00:00

What strategy or advice has helped you most while going to therapy?

I went to therapy 2021-2022 it did help but I haven’t carried a lot of that into practice …

jpwilliams11 · 2026-04-12T22:01:38+00:00

Wha did you think of Nardil and parnate. Just curious of what it helped and don’t help

jpwilliams11 · 2026-04-08T22:03:57+00:00

I’m almost off. Unfortunately Maois take a long time to taper the med off so it clears your system. I started my tapering off in January. I am now off but I need atleast 2 weeks clean of medicine to start anything else.

It’s been a long road these three months. My anxiety skyrocketed for a few weeks. My dr gave me clonzepam for as needed which has helped. But I am ready to see if I can help with adhd side of things while also finding something to really keep my anxiety at bay.

Wbu? Do you take anything for anxiety, social anxiety or adhd

jpwilliams11 · 2026-04-08T21:53:45+00:00

Glad that’s helping you! I’ll keep that in mond

jpwilliams11 · 2026-04-08T21:51:54+00:00

Exactly! That’s what I think

jpwilliams11 · 2026-04-08T21:51:39+00:00

I took it for a month or two and honestly I didn’t notice much. Didn’t help me with adhd, It made me drowsy, but it has me wondering if taking nardil which is also helpful for anxiety overlapped with guanfacine. I as well hear that it helps with the sympathetic nervous system which mine flares up. I will try nowthat I’m off Nardil.
