I'm switching from the emsam patch because I just dont like how it won't stick good and I thought it was suppose to work quicker. I've tried every medication out there and they all have seem to work right away, that's why I was so discouraged with the emsam not working quickly. The first time I ever took a medication for depression, which was prozac, it changed my life within 20 min. No one ever believes me but it's true. I took the prozac for a while, but had to keep increasing the dosage and it eventually just stopped. Do you know how long the parnate takes to kick in? I'm willing to wait for the parnate to kick in because it's in pill form and not a patch that you dont know if it's on right or what. I was told the parnate would be faster. I went to a reg doc to see if they would by some chance switch me to the parnate, but of course they didnt. My next appt with the pdoc wasnt until the 14th of dec, no way could I wait that long. But she did prescribe me xanax, which has been helping along with the ritalin I already had. I am going to stop the ritalin tomorrow and hopefully I can start the parnate, if I get it, tomorrow. I'm almost scared to ask this, but is there a difference in the generic and brand name parnate? Well, thanks for the response and I'll keep you posted!
