In reply to Johann, I dont get it, 12mg Emsam = less anxiety?, posted by UgottaHaveHope on April 14, 2007, at 1:09:07
> Johann: I also took Emsam for three months, primarily for generalized anxiety. I took the 6mg patch and it gave me extra energy, which did not help my anxiety. I took Klonopin and Seroquel to help counter that. My anxiety was 6-7 out of 10 on Emsam, but I wanted to try 10, therefore an am on second week of Nardil.

> I was on Emsam's lowest dose, 6mg. That is interesting that you are taking highest dose (12mg) and feeling less anxiety. To me, it seems like more Emsam = more energy = more anxiety.

Very intersted (will go back to if Nardil does not work after two months, and I guess I will try 12 since it is working for you, which makes me happy).I'm guessing that the higher dose of Emsam effects MAO-A too. This is why there is a decrease in anxiety... just a thought
