I have been on Emsam for a week now. I have exercised a few of the days. I do have an 18 year old son that right now is going to be the death of me so I know I have some other factors going on. I do feel like doing things, for example, walking or even going to the grocery store. I also don't feel the crappy brain fog that I always had with SSRI's...made me feel like I had suddenly turned into an idiot. So I do feel like this medication is helping in that aspect. What I am still dealing with is my sh***y disposition. I realize that being aggravated with my ADHD 18 year old has some effect, but I am quite snippy. I am not the most cheerful ray of sunshine even when I'm at my best, but I really feel like I am more irritable than is even normal for me.
Do any of you have input whether on Emsam or similar situations on different medications? I really think that everyone at work and at home could kill me and not feel bad about it. I did just come off of years of SSRI's and have only been on the patch for a week, so I know I need to give it some time, but it is a lost cause? Is this one of those things that can or will improve or is it one of those things that mean this drug just is not for you?
ThanksLisa

Hi Lisa.
Muffled is right. You'll probably get more answers on the medication board, (plain) Psychobabble. It can be a bit confusing here.
I redirected your post, and here's a link.

Hope this helps.
