In reply to Emsam at two weeks, posted by strugglingsteve on April 25, 2006, at 21:36:28
> I am now enterting my third week on emsam. The increased agitation has mellowed some so its tolerable along with my moderate anxiety and major depression. I am doing my best to stay off the benzos as they help me initially and hurt me later on. I am getting some diarrhea now but dont know if that is from the extended release lithium or from the emsam. Either way I am not stopping the emsam as this is the best I have done in terms of side effects ever. So far no improvement in mood but figuring 4-6 weeks for that to take place. Anyone else out there taking emsam that would like to chime in??
Hey Steve, I will chime in although I have nothing to chime about yet as this is my first day on the patch. First hour actually. I am glad to report that I have no side effects at this time which I have surely had within an hour of lots of other meds I have tried. So that in itself is a good sign. I could stay here or start Donna's Trial Site. What to do. what to do. ( No help with decisions so far....)
