Thank you for your suggestion of oral selegiline, but I believe my response would be the same as Last Chance's, i.e. agitation only.
MY BIG concern from get-go was: not taking ANY oral med - as it passes right through the gut.
Until this year, my main problem/ dx was always Major Depression. Of course as one p-doc said, "with MDD, who wouldn't have anxiety ...never knowing - even on meds for it - when the next episode might hit me. I personally think they go hand in hand, if you have MDD, in nearly everyone, especially the more depressed you become. Now that I've thought of this, I must REALLY wonder how they found enough people with ONLY MDD for all their studies. I'm skeptical in a big way re: this.
End of last year, I went through 2 very traumatic events within 2 weeks of each other. My best guess is that this is why I'm still having so much more anxiety than ever before - PTSD commonly hitting within weeks to months AFTER events of this kind.
Having to go back on Zelnorm for constipation due entirely to Emsam, perhaps, after my washout is complete, I will be able to again tolerate Prozac (?).
Quitting the patch has made my tummy immediately MUCH better.BTW, I recently found out that some people get sick from the gelatin in capsules. Then, I found out that, unfortunately, brand name Prozac has stopped making their 10 mg. tablet. I can still get the generic in 10 mg. tablets. There is no other option left for me; I've tried all other ADs, in all classes (except Nardil, and I'm not willing to), and many, many combos. (I also can't tolerate ANY mood stabilizer GI-wise, for any additional help toward full remission).
