In reply to Is EMSAM stimulating?, posted by nickguy on May 28, 2006, at 16:54:08
> I have tried many medications, and I think EMSAM is next. My question is, does anybody find EMSAM stimulating? Adderall makes me feel good, but I've only taken it unprescribed. (which I don't plan on doing again) My depression involves a lot of fatigue and inhibtion. I also have some social anxiety, but CBT helps with that. I think a lot of my social anxiety comes from feeling depressed.
My illness also leaves me feeling fatigued, unmotivated and anhedonic. The sri's I have taken have aggrevated that aspect rather than helped. I am well into my 5th week on the patch and this is the main thing it is doing for me, relieving me of the just dragging myself around. It is mildy stimulating for me, or maybe that is how "normal" people feel who are not plagued with the depression and anxiety. Sure worth a shot.
