Well, I took off my quarter patch yesterday and finally decided, ok this is it, I just can't put another one on. I can deal with the insomnia, I've had insomnia since I was in elementary school. But the eye pain just kept kept worse and worse. This stuff is poison, unlike some meds where side effects improve with time, all the MAO's for me seem to get worse and worse side effects with time-they just build up in your system. The 1st 2 weeks on Emsam there were really no side effects at all, insomnia and anxiety of course, but I always have that, I couldn't really tell if it was significantly worse, then gradually it was obvious it was significantly worse, then the dry eyes started , my eye doctor told me to use artificial tears eye drops and that seemed to help at 1st, but soon it wasn't just dry eyes, it was PAIN, and who knows what would be coming next. So another failure, and there's nothing else left to try. Well, I know what my pdoc will say, what he always does, there's always ECT. Yeah, doc, it's not you that'll lose your memory. I HATE DOCTORS!!!!!!!!!!! Cecilia
