Michael,
Weight Gain: none or very little. I was much younger so didn't have the middle age paunch from being sedentary.
No hypertension, I followed the diet pretty eaasily. I have a cuff and you should get one too just in case BP escalates.
The doctor that prescribed it minimized all the negatives so I wasn't scared. Mao's were used much more frequently back in 1987, unlike today. Prozac had not come out yet so choices were much more limited. Doctors were not scaredy cats back then.
Yes, I believe I had a huge anxiety component of my depression back then.
10 from my recollection!!!! Ace knows the score.
Proceed confidently, you have a really good shot with it, I'm right behind you...
I wish I skipped the Emsam and went right to Nardil as I had requested but of course my doctor talked me into trying Emsam first. I'm such a gullible sucker at times. Milk toast when it comes to taking charge of my recovery!
No wonder I haven't gotten better in years, the docs tell me what to do but the drugs they give me are not helping like they should. I have to tell them what to do, that is NOT right. I pay them, not the other way around.
Emsam is not a bad drug but I still have higher hopes for a better response with Nardil, as I remembered I had before. Back then, the limit on dosage was way lower and they did not increase doses beyond recommended doses as they do today without a second thought.
