In reply to EMSAM Add-ons...Please help with suggestions, posted by stargazer on January 8, 2007, at 10:37:06
Hi Stargazer-
THe same thing has happened to me at the 12mg EMSAM. It seems that you get an initial boost and then eventually lose focus. It's still better at the 12mg for me, though. My pdoc says that the only safe stimulant to use with EMSAM is Provigil. I'm supposed to be starting it shortly. ALso, he mentioned Aricept of all things....he said that it's helped cognitive abilities in many non-Alzheimers patients. I'm supposed to start Provigil next week. I've read from others that they use adjunct Adderal and Ritalin, but my pdoc was adamant that they're "expressly contraindicted" in conjunction with EMSAM.Hope that helps, and that you're feeling better soon.
