Oh thank you for your response, it's so hopeful and encouraging!! As for blood pressure- yes, maybe it would be worth looking in to for you, too. I'd been told a few times that the EMSAM can cause it to really dip in lots of people. When I started EMSAM, my main problem was I was l-e-t-h-a-r-g-i-c, dizzyish, all that. I'm actually on a teeny amount of ritalin (5mg 2xday) now for purpose to boost it up. Seems to be working out great. Best of luck to you, too!> >
