> Scott you decided to try EMSAM? That means a lot to me that you think it might work. Love Jan
I discussed Esmam with my doctor today. I am still very undecided about it. Based upon what people have reported here, I can see that it produces an energizing and anxiolytic effect early in treatment, but I am not so convinced that it is as effective as Parnate or Nardil as an antidepressant. However, it is a drug that I haven't tried yet, and sometimes that is enough of a reason to try one. He does have one person with TRD doing well with it.
I guess I would be more inclined to try Parnate or Nardil if I never tried a MAOI before.
Regarding the subject of this thread, during the time of my longest remission, I did not feel lost without my depression. I was having too much fun living. For me, depression is not about melancholy. There is no content to my depression, so there is no theme that is missing or lost when the depression is irradicated.
