Was wondering how long each episode lasts for you guys. i just switched to parnate from emsam about a week ago and i've basically been bedridden for two days. i'd had episodes before on emsam where i felt lightheaded for a few seconds (maybe even a few minutes), but now i'm having them constantly, every time i stand up for as long as i'm standing up. also, as an aside, the emsam was actually starting to work really well (after like 6 or 7 weeks but it was destroying my skin so that's why i switched).
btw - i had some hypotension issues several years ago (not rx related) and was given a series of b12 shots, so i'm wondering if, in addition to the other things suggested on this board (like water, salt, caffeine, etc.), it might be helpful to take some airborne or emergen-c or something like that.
