I left messages with the patient coordinator that I wanted off the emsam and wanted to try something else. I don't understand how he puts me on 6 mg emsam and suggests he sees me in a month to see how I'm doing. One month is a long time when to follow up when you start a new med, with no increase in the dosage and during that month just hope it works. So I stopped the emsam on my own and so far no withdrawls except maybe just feeling worse. I'm think I',m going to see my reg dr on monday, explain whats been going on and see if she will prescribe the parnate. At this point though I'm afraid to try anything because I feel nothing will work. I'm willing to give it two weeks in PILL form, the patch drove me crazy, it never stuck completely.
Anyways, sorry I wrote so much....
