Thats' EXACTLY what I'm saying. I've had NO choice, as my 2 above side-effects related posts documented all the many - unbelievable!!! - problems I've encountered.
Just spoke to my pharmacist, whom I trust WAY more than my doc, and he said that Somerset should never have PROMISED me there would be no GI problems, as Emsam, even if it goes only through the bloodstream, still could, and, obviously DOES, cause GI problems - at least in those prone to them. Again, I have absolutley NO organic GI problems. (IBS is always stress-related: depression or anxiety or both.) My GI problems were & are psych-med caused. I likely have - at times ONLY - some somatic GI problems, but do not have somatoform disorder, just for the record.
My pharmacist just faxed alot of this info to my doc. The pharmacist will get back to me tonite or in AM.
On another note, what is a real mystery to me is this: seems like, although, most all - if not all - studies re: Emsam were for major depressive disorder (my far & away main dx), most HERE doing the best are the social anxiety (and a few GAD) folks, at least as their primary dx/es. I just don't get it!
