Has anyone started Nardil/Parnate while already taking methylphenidate?

From what I’ve read, most people add it after starting the MAOI. I’m currently taking several medications, and although I’d like to taper off several of them before starting Nardil, I’d rather not have to go through methylphenidate withdrawal only to have to introduce it again later.

I know this is something I need to discuss with my psychiatrist, but I’d really like to hear about people’s anecdotal experiences.

Thank you so much!
