In reply to Emsam at 12 mg, posted by strugglingsteve on July 3, 2006, at 21:04:36
> I am up to 12 mg of emsam and still no response to it. I did 6 mg patch for a month then the 9 mg patch for a month and now into my second week at 12 and nothing yet. Its very disappointing as I see others doing ok. I have severe depression and agitation. I also take lithium which has calmed me down quite a bit but I just cannot get over that hump into feeling good.
Steve,
I'm so sorry you are still suffering so badly! With 25 years of this sh*t, i know how you feel..and i'd like to help you if i can. First of all, please feel free to Babblemail me anytime. And, can you please tell me what your diagnosis is, and all the meds you have tried. I am certainly not a Doc, but i do have A LOT of experience w/ depression and anxiety. My diagnosis is Major depression w/some atypical features, GAD, social anxiety disorder, and OCD. But, although i still have my "Bad Days" i'm a currently doing quite well on EMSAM, Trazodone and Klonopin.
I'll be waiting for your B-Mail, and will answer you promptly. Hang in there...I know this is hard to see right now, BUT THINGS WILL GET BETTER.Sincerely, Monte
