> > You guys have the same meds and results as myself. Mostky all of them but tricyclics and oral MAOI's and the only relief being a combo of klonopin and provigil. I gotta tell you, I am so happy for you both that it makes me cry. (I am vey emotionally labile right now since I am off the numb drugs) and am on my first day of EMSAM. I hope it means it will work for me as it is for the two of you. Oh, to have hope again, I am so scared of another disappointment. You guys give me great big hope. Thanks.

> Like you, I was so used to disappointments with every med I tried (other than klonopin). I'd followed EMSAM since 1999 and though I was very optimistic that it would be my best chance for a good response (as it was my first MAOI try), but I too was still concerned it would flop like the rest of the meds I've tried as it was just what I learned to expect.

Anyway, I bet you are onto something there with the similar med profile thing. It must be the way we are wired but I also think this drug is going to work for just about everyone, I don'tknow why it wouldn't if my first day is any indication. It was just like yours, energy, wanting to do thngs like leave the house. I laughed so hard at something silly I about busted my gut. I don't think it is coincidence. I think I will go ahead and let the hope really begin.
I will keep everyone posted. And also, I hope people that have bad reactions to other drugs don't think this is similar like wellbutrin for example and let that stop them. I can't tolerate wellbutrin for one day and this is polar opposite from that. ok, time for this tired girl to hit the sack.donna
