SS: First of all, let me tell you I was big doubter, too. And my pdoc is one of the founders of Emsam. But out of nowhere, right around week 6-7, something kicked in.
I like your plan. If you do not feel any response by week six, then going up to 9 or 12 is a good idea. I just hope you give the patch at least 9-10 total weeks, whatever dose.
And your pdoc should have some samples of the 9-12 to give you for at least two weeks. Ask for them.
The only thing I ask for this: Please dont focus on this drug not working, because sometimes if you do that you will fail to notice any improvement even if there is. Just keep an open mind, and tell yourself "I'm going to make it through these next two weeks and evaluate everything then."
Proud of you for hanging in there.
