Hi Liliths,
You sound like you may indeed be a good candidate for a stimulant-Emsam combo, like me! I hope your doctor is ok about it. Mine is, but he also teaches pharmacology at a major medical school, so he's comfortable with "unconventional". He did write me a note to take to the pharmacy the first time, saying it's ok, because he said they might balk. Now the pharmacy is used to me, and there's no questioning. I was using ritalin with Emsam for a long time, until I consulted with a super-expert (for second opinion), and he said that in his observation, many people tended to particularly respond to an Emsam/adderall combo. I was switched immediately after, and I think it's true, at least for me. I haven't had any weight gain at all from Emsam. Are you using it now, or looking to use it in the future?
I figured you'd know about mixing MAOIs and other meds as most people around here do, but with the dangers being what they are, and here I am blathering on about the wonders of an unconventional drug combo- I thought I'd bring it up just to be safe. Never know who's reading and what ideas pop into people's minds. Thanks for understanding :)
Anyway, good luck!
Laima
