Got my EMSAM scared to try it :-(

Posted by valene on June 15, 2006, at 17:32:48

I picked up my 30 day supply of 6mg Emsam today and I am afraid to try it after reading the reviews on this board. Most of them have been negative.
Big chicken here, I am also afraid of all SSRI's and read on Medscape that Effexor/cymbalta now can cause glaucoma, so that is out.
Does anyone have a suggestion? I am on xanax, 2mg. that's it. My pdoc is really pushing for an antidepressant and I have resisted up til saying yes to the EMSAM. She is "putting my feet to the fire" and making me take an A/D!
Thanks, Val
