> You think so? I wonder how the drug companies can be thaaaat far off with a medication that's already in use. Maybe the majority of people using aren't expriencing these effects, but it's the people here who are reporting them. Just a thought/hope.
I've been on EMSAM for 11 days now with absolutely no remission of symptoms. I am as depressed , no, more depressed than before I started it. I am on the 6mg patch which I leave on 24 hours.
I am also havin absolutely no side effects. I thought it was supposed to be stimulant. Well, I am exhausted. No energy at all. And no insomnia, either. I fall asleep fine. Actually my sleep is a bit restless but that's all. I had a few mild GI effects at first, little nausea and heartburn but that's gone.
As far as I can tell it is doing nothing at all.
I have been on everything else except traditional MAOIs and so I think this is the end of the road for me. There is nothing left to try and no hope for me. I am ready to go.
