Do physicians always have to follow Star-D?
I've been contemplating bringing up EMSAM to my doc for a while for depression.
I tried Paxil, Buspar, Wellbutrin, and Effexor. All caused a lot of weight gain and apathy. I don't want to try another SSRI/SNRI because I think it's very likely to happen again. TCA's are known to cause weight gain.
So, would be it be completely out of line to ask my GP about it? Since it hasn't been shown to cause weight gain or apathy (yet!).
I know I've asked this before... mannnyyy times... but this seemed like the appriate thread to reassess people's opinions and recommendations. :)
