> Are you taking the 20mg patch? If so perhaps you should consider taking the 30 or 40 mgs patch before you quit. To save money perhaps just take two 20mg patches (40 mgs) and you might see the kind of stimulation/response you're looking for. Just a thought. Good luck. Rob
Yes, I wouldn't give up on Emsam so quickly. Its effect typically wouldn't be felt for a few weeks, though some people are reporting a noticeable improvement in mood in as few as five days. Try to give it at least two weeks if you possibly can; three is even better. But definitely don't cross it off after just three days. If you look back, I'm fairly certain you'll see it took at least a couple weeks before Parnate took effect when you first started it. Antidepressants, unfortunately, don't work right away - they always take time to get started.
