Thanks to all of you on these boards. You are very helpful.
This AM I started with half of an emsam patch and got very dizzy and headachy. I should say that I think I'm a 'slow metabolizer--have never been able to take a full dose of any AD.
I felt so bad this eve I removed the patch and will try tomorrow with a quarter, which seems ridiculous. Are there others that have had to do this? If so, how much to increase, and at what intervals? Might it work to start by wearing it for only parts of a day?
I told my pdoc that I am very grateful for meds. but my gosh, the price in side effects is so high for me!
