In reply to Starting Emsam, wondering what to expect, posted by greywolf on March 19, 2007, at 23:36:38
Greywolf, I have been on it since November with varying degrees of improvement and minimal side effects. I started at 6 mg and moved to 9 mg, I think in early January.
I did try to go up to 12 mg with some increase in hypotension, lightheadedness. So I went back to 9 mg and have been there about 2 mos.
I'm not totally impressed with its ability to reduce stress and bolster my resilience to negativity. I feel I am not handling situations that seem relatively stress free. I have no faith that the results will be uselful in real life situations, like work, and this is what I am looking for. In the past, my best outcomes have made me quite confident and resilient to many situations especially day to day stress you have in any job.
But you may have better results depending on your chemistry, etc.
