> I'm not doing to good, I spent all week trying to get in touch with my pdoc, he never returned my call. 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....Monica, I'm glad you posted. Frankly, that your pdoc just left you on your own, esp. given your history, is irresponsible and bad medicine--I'm really sorry. Will you try segeline in pill, or just go for the parnate? Whichever, I hope you achieve some success. And I hope your gp will give you the parnate if that's what you decide. Sound very rough, Monica. Keep us posted. Many experienced people here w/ parnate to draw advice from.
my best wishes for you,fb
