sdb,
I do fear the weight gain, sweet craving, etc. and I am hypersensitive to many medications not only psych. meds.I wonder if the claims about EMSAM having few if any side effects, or less than the SSRI's is really true? It would be almost a miracle drug if it works.
I am pretty much hooked on a small dose of xanax. I have been advised by my pdoc that I can updose this but am reluctant due to the difficulty of tapering xanax down.
Val> The fear is maybe due to often occurring sideeffects like:
> -weight gain, sweet craving
> -hypertensive crisis (tyramine)->hopefully never happens
> -total sexualdisfunction
