Phillippa:

Try the Emsam. It starts out at a low 6mg dose, and I have not found that dosage the least bit stimulating during the past week that I've been on it. If that works for you, then you can gradually work your way up to 9mg and 12mg.

I feel for you. It's been many, many years of meds for me, and the most painful aspect of my bipolar is the crushing depression. I have been through so many med regimens that I can't remember half of them. My current psychiatrist comes well-recommended by other psychiatrists locally as a guy who's well-versed in pharmaceuticals, and even he's scratching his head. Emsam is a last-ditch effort before VNS. I'm hoping it works, but who knows?

Talk to your doctor again and design some safe circumstances under which you can try Emsam and figure out whether it's too stimulating. It truly is one of those meds where YMMV.

Take care.
