> I am not sure if vicodin is an opiate painkiller, but I did ask my pdoc about starting to use the patch while still using the vicodin. He said it would be okay, that the only thing was that the effects of the vicodin might be potentiated.
I want the Emsam to work as this is the end of the line for me. I have tried everything including Parnate which used to work years ago and no longer does. I have had so many bad side effects and/or allergic reactions to everything other than MAOI's, even at low doses, that I don't want to have to stop the Emsam. No Vicodin this a.m. and still feeling a bit nauseous plus sweating like crazy. I will see how it goes the rest of the day.
