Hello.
I started EMSAM 5 days ago and many times during the day I feel intense anxiety. I also have not been sleeping well as my mind races in my dreams and I wake up tired.
My question: Is increased anxiety and agitation a start up effect others have had to deal with and does it taper off? My doc tells me the anxiety (near panic at times) will fade away in 7 to 14 days and the the insomnia will get better as well. I would love to hear from others
that have experienced these side effects.Nardil really helped me years ago with depression and anxiety and I am dearly hoping this "cousin" to Nardil will help me... I've tried all the SSRIs. So I am willing to deal with the start up side effects if they do start to fade away in another 5 days or so... I can't take much more than that to be honest. I am very sensitive to meds and so many that I have tried blast me with anxiety initial.
Thanks in advance for the help.
John
