> Nickguy, you say it's not as great as Prozac for you, but are you getting any antidepressant effect?
jealibeanz,
I think you meant to address the above message to me. At any rate, I'll assume so, and start flapping my virtual yap.
Yes, I am getting an antidepressant effect from the Emsam -- just not a lot. (I was getting none at all until I upped my dose from the 6mg patch to the 9mg patch.) My yardstick is, of course, Prozac, which worked very well for me for about a year and a half, and then began to slowly peter out. AD-wise, Emsam for me is like Prozac during my fourth year on it: Better than nothing, but not great. Even at its "pooped-outest, " Prozac helped alleviate my social anxiety/shyness much more than Emsam.
