Hi, Just wrote you a long response as well and have no idea where it went either! So I guess I'll just have to start over. Sorry for the redundancy if it should reappear. Thank you for the Provigil suggestion. I really feel I would possibly benefit from something that would help combat this strange onset of tiredness w/Emsam. My only concern is that 3yrs. ago I was put on Provigil while on a combo of Effexor XR 375mg OD, Wellbutrin SR 150mg TID, and Lamictal 100mg BID. It worked great initially but seemed to lose it's effect after a month or so. I think I was taking 400mg in the AM. Eventually it was changed to Ritalin, then Adderall XR 30mg which I beleive helped me the most @ the time. Haven't been on any med like this since the end of 2003, so I really think it might be worth a try. I will definitely suggest it to my Dr. @ my next appt.-(that is if I haven't found a new one by then) I've been in the process of finding a new psychiatrist w/the help of my therapist. I have never been really comfortable with, or had much faith in this guy, but kept seeing him b/c I just didn't have the energy to look for anyone else. I guess the Emsam is helping me somewhat in this respect, as I feel very determined to find someone more experienced in my problem w/treatment resistance. I had a psychiatrist while living in Florida who helped me the most, and always gave me hope. Always made me feel like he was never willing to give up on me. Sadly, I had been seeing him for about 5yrs, and then he suddenly became sick and 6mos. later was dead from Malignant Lymphoma. Just don't know if I'll ever find someone that I really trust has my best interests @ heart again.
