> > I wondered about keeping the anti-depressant dose low as to not create anxiety and aggitation... my concern was would a anti-depressent work at lower doses than the marketed targeted dose. I am on EMSAM and I'm wondering if a 3mg level would help me instead of the minimum suggested dose of 6mg.

>I agree with Netch. IMOP, EMSAM would not be the drug of choice. From what I gather, EMSAM would exacerbate your bipolar. Is your brother on an AD? Need a little more history. Are you able to function well and hold down a job? How do your moods play on a day to day basis? Sleep cycle, etc....
