In reply to EMSAM/new MAOI patch question about when to start, posted by RetiredYoung on March 6, 2006, at 9:38:33
Hi Jim.
> Hello - With the newly approved EMSAM, I understand that the dietary restrictions are less strenuous, particularly at lower dosages. However, does it share the same trait as the MAOIs in that one must completely wean off of their current anti-depressant cocktail before even beginning use of the new patch? Thanks in advance..
That very much depends on what drugs you are currently taking. You might want to list them here for others to comment on.
For the sake of safety, I think it would be prudent to treat EmSam like any other MAOI.
