> I'm sorry if this has been asked and answered: have you ever used an MAOI?
Nardil did nothing but keep me up all night and cause extremely delayed ejaculation.
Parnate did not nothing but keep me up all night and caused increased suicidal thoughts (more thoughts as dose increased). Didn't stay on it long!
Oral selegiline did nothing but increase my sleeping problems.
Still, pdoc insists that some people who did not respond to other MAIOs do respond to EMSAM. Because med bypasses digestive tract, it is metabolized differently.
Barring new side effects, or desire for a sex life, I anticipate giving EMSAM a month at 6mg, then moving up to 12mg for another month or two. Surprisingly, pdoc seems apprehensive about any augmentation for EMSAM.
Story developing... very slowly.
