> Are the same chemicals effected with all of them?Ive been on parnate a VERY LONG TIME,and it now takes a larger dose to achieve much less benifit then at start.However initialy it can for some feel like a godsend when started.
I waited anxiously for the arrival of emsam as a option to leave parnate,HOWEVER i simply could not ignore the success rate i was keeping track of,so i opted not to.
THIS SAID,ive used the med LOOOONG before emsam in a version of LIQUID DEPRENYL.In fact when parnate was unavaible to me,liquid deprenyl was a decent replacment.
I dont know why,but its simply touted to be much much more potent then the deprenyl pills for parkinson pre emsam.
Liquid deprenyl is dosed i believe 1 mg per droplet,and is very potent,it also goes very well with a benzo.
I could not evalute it in more depth as its extremly expensive,but i find personaly without trying nardil,that bot parnate and LIQUID DEPRENYL,NOT EMSAM to be for some very similar and very effective.
