In reply to Any Emsam lovers out there?, posted by SLS on October 9, 2006, at 23:52:58
Hi Scott,
I started Emsam on Aug 29. I am getting a small response @ 12mg for 2 1/2 weeks. I'm atypical with social phobia. Don't have many reasonable options for treatment, so I am committed to stick with the Emsam for a good while. I expected to get a robust response quickly like I often get with Parnate, but since Parnate peeters out after three months it is not too usefull for me. I may have to go above 12mg with the Emsam. A couple of days ago I began supplementing with 500mg DLPA. No improvement that I can detect yet. If I don't get a stronger response in a few weeks I may augment with Lyrica. Are you still using Lyrica yourself? I have more patience with Emsam because its similarity to Parnate(one of the few things I respond to), the transdermal delivery and the number of beneficial traits of selegiline. Good luck with you treament Scott and best wishes.
