> Has this improved for you? I get urinary retention with a lot of the meds, especially the SNRIs (Effexor, Cymbalta). I don't have it with Lamictal (no side-effects at all in fact) but am looking for a boost and considering Emsam. Urinary retention concerns me -- what's your dose? Meds that might counteract your side-effect include Flomax and Urecholine, which is older and available in generic.
>I have begun removing the patch while I sleep at night and to my surprise it seems to be even more effective than wearing it 24/7. This has also resulted in a reduction of the retention to a point near normalcy.
I am on the 12mg/24h patch (40mg)
