Wow, a plethora of info to ponder in your post! I'm not sure that the scientists that make these drugs have the answers to some of your hypothisis, but it's very interesting.
Because I have had so many poor responses to anti depressants and other meds to treat my SAD/GAD with mild depression I too am skeptical of EMSAM. But, I'm done with "30 day trials" of other meds until it comes out. My last trial was with Remeron and it was about the worst so far.
My doctor has always thought that if he only had once shot, one try to prescribe a med for me (even before trying all the others) it would have been Nardil. Now he wants me to wait and try EMSAM first. The klonopin has helped greatly with my primary issue of anxiety, but it's my hope that EMSAM will supplement it or perhaps even replace it.
All I'm hoping for with EMSAM is some help with mild depression, cognitive clarity, brighten my mood, and additional anxiety relief (in reading that it looks like a lot to ask for).
Though I can't wait to try it and it seems as promising as anything that's out there, I too am skeptical. I've just had my hopes up too many times. Hopefully it will be a breakthrough med. Perhaps other meds will work better via a patch delivery. We'll see.......
