In reply to Emsam side effects, I am really lethargic???, posted by Moxie on February 27, 2008, at 13:06:41
The hardest part about answering that question involves definitions: lethargic? Fatigued? Amotivated? Apathetic? Sedated? You'll notice that those words all describe something similar, and it's hard to know which one is most appropriate -- but knowing that makes a difference in answering.
I took EMSAM for about ten weeks, and found through much of that time that I was amotivated, apathetic, and lethargic. I was not particularly fatigued, nor sedated. So, depending on what you think best fits your situation, it may be that my answer is "yes." For what it's worth, I stopped because of increased depression and the above-listed symptoms at ten weeks.
It may also be, though, that you're also experiencing discontinuation effects from the Cymbalta or one of the other medications you were taking.
Hope that helps.
