> Hi, I've been wanting to try Emsam for a year now and am glad to see that it is now available. I can't find a Dr. in my area that has heard of it or says, "too many drug interactions w/maoi, won't prescribe it, too unknown." so I don't know what to do. Also, pharmacies don't carry it here---Portland, OR. Have tried all ssri's and side effects and doesn't work, just numbs.
sahm, hi - I live in Portland also - I called both Costco -$393.00, and High School Pharmacy -$440.00. They don't have in stock, but will order and have it in a day or two. I see a nurse practitioner and because of my previous success, 10 years ago with Nardil, and not so good results with SSRI's - she has no problem with the patch - thru the Squibb Patient Assistance Program, and her help, I am waiting for a free 3 months supply which is already in the mail. So there are people here who will listen. Good luck, Richard
