> How long have you been on it? How does it make you feel?
Let's see.. I started Sunday so I have been using it 5 days. Because I am still having effexor withdrawal, the picture is not entirely clear but I can say this. I haven't felt this good in a long long time, maybe in part to EMSAM and in part to losing this kind of depression that long term use of sri's seems to have induced. I am sleeping alot less which is a good thing since I had been hypersomnulant but the time I do sleep, I sleep well. I actually want to leave the house and am looking forward to doing things instead of dreading them. I really want to pick up my exercise regimen again but still feel kinda physically sick from withdrawal. I can say this too, if the patch gets yanked from the market, I will take an oral MAOI, no more sri's. I am not having the apathy, amotiviation, anhedonia I was having before. I have excitement and enthusiasm, forgot what that felt like. So yes, so far it seems to be working really well.
Thanks to all otherz regarding patch site
Donna
