thanks for your post. i didn't really wash out between the emsam and parnate for any meaningful period of time. the doctor said not to worry about it, but the pharmacist made such a big deal about it that i did wait 2 days before starting parnate anyway (doc said 0 days, pharmacist said 7, so i figured 2 was probably good enough). so i went from 9 mg of emsam, waited two days, then started 5 mg of parnate. did that for about a week, then started taking 5 mg twice per day. that's when the super-bad hypotension started. feeling much better today though. no idea why, but i'll take it. i was expecting for this to be a problem since i've always had very low bp--maybe that's why i wasn't more freaked out.

btw, floatingbridge, i think the b-12 shots helped, but that was like 15 years ago, so i don't really remember much about it. i just know that i was having super-low bp for no apparent reason (other than just being sort of petite and young), so the doctor gave me a series of b-12 shots, like maybe every other days for a couple of weeks or something. but i do remember it helping, which is what made me think about taking b-12 supplements in some form this time.
