My anxiety has not settled down on 6mg patch so I will talk with my doctor tomorrow about what to do... The plan is to go to 9mg. The problem is I just don't feel right on EMSAM. I feel out of sorts and pretty tired at times. I just feel the medication is masking who I am somewhat. I feel strange and struggle for words at times... symptom of anxiety probably. Maybe that goes away with time. My main issue for months and months has been anxiety. I take Ativan to help with the anxiety but I just am not the generally relaxed person I used to be. Anxiety and depression dog me. I realize antidepressants normally work on the depression and then anxiety... I just haven't found a AD that works for me and I can say I have tried almost all of them. But I am not done with EMSAM yet. I would think the Lithium and Seroquel would help but I think they have just settled my mood down.
I am back meditating and doing many other things that should help me. The anxiety I may just have to deal with by accepting and working through the feelings.... that is after I get the EMSAM anxiety induced down.
Frustrated to say the least.
