Every one is going to react differently to dif. meds. Getting well is hard work (unfortunately) in this business...lots of trial and erroris needed. Plz. don't be influenced by every post that you read.

> Are you on EMSAM? Did you have any start up side effects such as nausea, feeling clamy, dizzy? When I put 1/4 patch on Friday and felt this way which I didn't expect, I realized it would be better to maybe take a long weekend off to try this one. I felt strange around people and maybe this feeling would go away after my body adapts to EMSAM, maybe not.

>Yes, i am on EMSAM. Have been on it about 2 mos. now. Started the 9 mg. patch 3 weeks ago and really feel pretty darn good. I had no initial problems, and even now the only side effect i have is early morning wakening, which has been eliminated with trazodone and Lyrica.
Sorry your start is not going well. I do keep my patch on for the the full 24 hrs. With the abouve mentioned meds i sleep usually 7 hrs. which is perfect for me. I'd stick with it for a few more wks. unless the side effects become intolerable. I'm sorry you are having a hard time. Feel free to babblemail me anytime. Best wishes.
