I'm afraid I'm not going to be of much help here: These are questions for a psychi. You've heard a million time, I'm sure, that everyone's reaction will be somewhat different. I still have anxiety, and I'm wondering if my affect is getting flat, maybe in combination with other drugs, but overall I'm feeling better. I hear you, though: It can get very discouraging.

> I think the 6mg made me somewhat worse, especially feeling more ‘crazy.’ My questions:
> 1) Could this CRAZY feeling be temperamental or a sign that this is not for me? It has eased a little, but that is probably because I have had 3 ECTs since I started Emsam to help me get by. I am still going crazy and wondering if all meds just make me worse.
> 2) How long should I continue to try the 9mg?
> I hate ECT, but it does really help me, so I’m debating on giving up on all med trials (I’ve been through most of them anyway). I am so sick and tired of this miserable game.
