Hey, I really really appreciate all the input, and if anyone else has anything to add, please do. I spoke to my doctor since my earlier post, and she offered the possibility that it may not be the EMSAM making the depression, anxiety AND ocd worse, but merely that I was getting worse before starting the EMSAM and that it just hasn't kicked in yet. She wants me to keep trying that, along with the lithium for the depression, and a combination of Klonopin and Xanax for the anxiety and ocd (which for me always gets worse when I'm more anxious). Anyone have any thoughts on this? By the way, has anyone else experienced the following: I only eat one meal a day with a significant amount of carbs (dinner), and I notice that soon after dinner, and also after I've had something with caffeine, my mood brightens considerably (at least for a while). Is it possible that the carbohydrate addict's diet I'm on might actually be a part of the problem here? Once again, thanks so much to all who've taken the time to help me here. It means so much. Paul
