In reply to EMSAM At 8 Weeks, posted by Darkness At Noon on August 5, 2007, at 16:59:24
I could tell very little about EMSAM until I stopped goofing off with the 9mg patch and slapped on the 12. There were lots of quickly fading strange little side effects that popped up for a day or so and went away but within 6 weeks it was all worth it as I was a new person (with insomnia)...If it were me doing it all over again I'd tolerate the insomnia until I knew the other parts were working for me, then I'd simply take 600mg of Potassium Citrate (divide dose morning and afternoon) as the potassium CITRATE (has to be citrate) completely wiped out my insomnia and allowed me to sleep as many hours as I wanted. but it may have also interfered with the EMSAM I don't know as I didn't stay on it long enough after that to determine, which why I recommend waiting until you feel good...of few weeks of a few hours less sleep likely will not kill you..in fact I go to where I was sleeping 3 to 4 hours / night and did that for about 10 months and loved it and seeming had no problems with it, just more time to get stuff done. oh yeah where I am having terrible sex side effects from parnate, I saw none with emsam except possibly a libido increase (as if I needed that). The only serious problem I remember was having to wait a whole 6 weeks on 12mg to start feeling better. Personally, I'd have to say that EMSAM basically rocks. (but not until 6 weeks on 12mg for me)
