In reply to Parnate to EMSAM back to Parnate, posted by tygereyes on April 23, 2006, at 0:22:13
Hi Tiger --First about the switch of MAOI. Even if you took ENSAM 3 days you need to stop everything for minimum 7 days. This is what the lastest PDR version of Parnate says. BTW, from what I experienced lately, reaction when not respecting the required days are very bad. I've start Parnate 7 days after Nardil and got a BP ~240+ in less then 40 min after taking Parnate..
The way I understand it you're not telling that you no more have faith in ENSAM, you're telling us more like "whatever ENSAM (will) give me, it will not be what I want and what I want is Parnate" .. I'm sure you know that in 3 days you could not see nothing from ENSAM, so I'll not tell you to give him more time.
The feeling I have from what I see on this forum is that it is sure ENSAM will not give you an amphetamine-like feeling.
But if I were you, well, I may as well continue just to be sure of what ENSAM is made of. You don't want to be there in 10 years from now asking yourself if it would do the job and starting all over .. I'm sure your withdrawal from Parnate wasn't much fun :S whatever I would give ENSAM 2 weeks just to see his color even knowing that after that I would return to Parnate.
Marty> It's settled. I need the amphetamine-like kick of Parnate. I am officially addicted to the stupid drug, fiending for it even after it's all out of my system.

> Plus I need to lose weight. 88 pounds is getting old and anorexia has destroyed my metabolism.
>
> Addicted to Parnate. I am so pathetic. I went from being addicted to shooting heroin to being addicted to taking a MAOI. Sigh. How very 2006.

> So here's the deal:
>
> Off Parnate ten days
> On EMSAM three days
>
> If I stop EMSAM now, what is the MINIMUM amount of days I should wait before starting Parnate again? I'm thinking three.

> Ideas, opinions?
