Hi Shyster,
I am by no means an expert on Emsam but I have been on it now for a few weeks with good results. Since there are no dietary restrictions on the 6 mg dose, it makes it much easier to take than the older MAO's.
I'm not sure of all the drug restrictions though, so you should either consult you doc or read the package insert. I think you can find out on EMSAM.com if you're interested.
There doesn't appear to be that many experts but occasionally there is a response or two to Emsam posts.
I did not have any side effects when I started it other than a bit of insomnia and I take a small dose of Seroquel most nights, although I have been able to skip occasionally.
It seems to be a good AD in my opinion, and I have had alot of SE's on other AD's for one reason or another. I did have good results to the older MAO's years ago and I'm grateful this has seemed to be giving me some stability.
Time will tell as it does with all AD's. Good luck and I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. No AD can make that kind of grief go away but hopefully it can help soften it.
