Depending on what dose you're taking, you could try a higher dose, or you could try other things to boost the effect. I'm not sure what's potentially synergistic with Emsam, but with Parnate, for example, my pdoc suggested lithium, or with Emsam, abilify. Or if there are reasons to think it's anxiety, you could try a little xanax.
You can't entirely discount the idea that sometimes, if there are things going on, you might be more depressed, and the Emsam might not seem to be working. Esp. if you start to question the effect-- rather than maybe just taking xanax -- or trying other combinations.
Probably none of these drugs is potent enough to completely extinguish the negative mental pathways or mental pain pathways that we've built up over the years. So maybe at times, one has to work harder to resist-- or counteract them them, one way or another.
I hope so, anyway.
