Hi All;
My pdoc would like to try me on an MAO (after many failures with SSRI, etc.) I looked around and people seem to be having a fair amount of success with EMSAM. She would rather I try Manerix. I read some posts about it and people don't really seem to like Manerix / Aurorix. The worst I've read about EMSAM is that it doesn't work all that well (or at least at low doses.)
I totally like the idea of a patch rather than another pill. I was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of fodder for presenting a solid arguement for why EMSAM would be a better choice. I am going purely on gut at present and I'd like to have a more cogent arguement. She's pretty tough and I'm not going to get much mileage by saying that the patient discussion boards don't have much positive to say about Manerix. It drives me crazy that that isn't a good enough bit of info, but don't get me started...
Any thought, experiences, research, etc., would be much appreciated.Thanks much,
Maddie
