I think one thing we leave out here is a major factor,thats actualy obtaining any recomandation a few might through at you.
Me for example,one user here is having good results using the emsam patch at a fair dose,and substiting or balancing the rest with the deprenyl drops.I actualy thought of this myself.
Lets say i choose to go ahead and do this,i need to firtst make an appt,wait for that,speak to my doc,propse the patch,HOPE the doc feels its ok,then more than likly will be told to taper off and will not recieve the patch until at LEAST next visit.
Now in my case id have to recieve the deprenyl on my own,but in any other cocktail case youd be approaching the doc about two new drugs,docs for some reason love to,when they do give in,do so partialy,like you want x and y,they give you x and tell you well speak about y later on,meanwhile that was your plan to use both x and y,without it,you cant do what you had hoped to do.
The time lentgh in all this is absurd,if your were hanging off a thread,its unlikly youd have the strentgh and patieance to wait this out.
Most people are usualy able to do this by stock piling old meds.Not that im advocating that,but i think it is a very very long process when your on a ineffective drug to switch,least for me it is.
