Since they both work on NE and DA, how are they different? What are the advantages and disadvantages to each?
I've taken Wellbutrin before. It may have relieved depression, but definitely not anxiety. It also had unwanted side effects (apathy and weight gain). Would EMSAM be worth trying for my social anxiety, general anxiety, and depression/dysthymia/winter depression?
BTW, right now I'm taking Xanax, which helps the anxiety. I take Straterra for inattentive ADHD. I'm not sure if I actually have it, or the wandering thoughts are caused by anxiety and depression, but it does help me a little with concentration and energy. It also probably keeps me from sinking into a deep deep depression, which I would normally be in given my anxiety level before Xanax and major stress.
