Hi...I think my lack of energy is from more than depression...I'm leaning towards having a large component of ADD and finding I need a stimulant or something to help with motivation. I have so many symptoms of depression and ADD, I have never really risen above the marginal response from every med out there for depression. Lately I have added a tiny bit of amphetamine to my Emsam and definately am seeing an improvement in my energy level and focus. Although stims are not sanctioning with EMsam, some others (Laima) are using it successfully.
A common thread is that we have low BP too which probably plays a large role in my lethargy, probably as much as depression.
My ability to read the posts here is increasing everyday. I see my pdoc today to discuss my response to the tiny (2.5 mg) addition to Emsam. Daily monitoring of my BP has remained consistent although pulse has increase from 60 to 80 at times, other times increase is minimal.
