Thanks for a post w/a little hope. Sounds like you've been through even more "fixes" than I have. Never taken this type of medication before though I've been on every typical anti depressant for 25 years. I also have anxiety/panic disorder and take 3 mg. of xaanax/day. Have done the traditional therapys, most recently six months of serious cognitive therapy w/a very qualifed psychologist w/no luck.
I lost my son and only child in a car accident on 1/1/04 and this is the worse time of the year for me. Told the shrink today that things are worse than they've ever been--zero motivation, self worth, hope and he suggested Emsam. Gave me 25 6 mg. patches.
Has anyone had problems w/the restrictions? I have very bad sinus problems and go through the OTC meds heavily, but if this can make me want to live I can find a way around that. I was a practicing alcoholic for more than 20 years (16 years sober now). If I can quit that I can quit anything.
