I have thought for awhile that i have bipolar, the really subtle kind and emsam seems to have brought that to the surface. Adding lamictal has helped but dr and i thought we should try decreasing the patch from 12mg to 9 mg. did that for about 10 days and has brought on awful depression. I am back up to 12 mg for about 5 days, depression still awful in afternoon, good mornings. I cannot tolerate the depression and on emsam, the hypomania is not at all fun either. my depression is so bad that I have to have a serotonergic AD and I have tried most all of them, except remeron and the tricyclics and other maois. So question is, what is maoi withdrawal like? where do I go from here?
I hate to post this, it seemed so good at first.
thanks for any help. It is a good sign that i can type and ask for help, it was too much to do a few days ago. Maybe i should give it time to work back on 12mg with the lamictal at 150 which i have only gotten to for a few weeks. the lamictal I mean, back to 12mg of emsam for about 5 days.Donna
