In reply to Emsam and weight gain, posted by trapper125 on April 28, 2007, at 22:56:41
> While taking Emsam 12 mg I experienced moderate weight gain. Not that much but still unpleasant. I reduced to 6 mg and my weight has decreased. Has anyone experienced weight gain on Emsam and, if so, how much? What dose were you on? Has anyone experienced improvement on Emsam on 6mg or maybe 9 mg?
This makes sense. At 6 mg it's usually only a MAOI-B inhibitor... which doesn't affect serotonin levels. It has MAOI-A inhibition at 12mg, maybe 9mg too... that increases the circulating serotonin, which is possibly a cause for weight gain.
