Hi, Another Phil.
I was wondering how long you were on Emsam before you discontinued, and also how quickly you increased on Parnate.
I'm trying to figure out a problematic reaction I had to Emsam, and am hoping to go back onto it. So I"m somewhat interested in how long people stayed on Emsam, and at what dosage, and also how they did as they discontinued (ie did your mood shift dramatically downward or stay the same, or even improve for a while after discontinuing).
I also had taken Parnate previously, and may have gained a few pounds (not sure, my weight sometimes varies by a few pounds). Parnate tends not to cause weight gain, but my Pdoc mentioned that those who gained weight usually didn't gain more than about 8 pounds. It does happen, rarely, but you might not gain more, in his experience.
Hope that's how it goes for you.
Jost
