I've been on this 6mg Post-It Note for a couple of months or more and have gotten some benefit from it. Woo!
But its been uneven and I couldshouldwould be doing much better in an ideal world. My unscientific take from the "babble" is those who have done well on EMSAM have done so on bigger patches. So its TIME. My new pdoc is willing but very conservative and has even implored to me to follow dietary restrictions on the 6mg patch.
So yeah, I'll stop licking that hunk of Roquefort cheese but aside from the party line what's the consensus on the real need to follow dietary restrictions at 9mg?
Anybody know what BMS maintains about the safety of their product at higher levels as opposed to what The Man makes them print on their package inserts?
Those of you who have titrated upwards, did you experience a recurrence or intensifying of any side effects? Care to share your experiences?
Did your prescribing doc also give you a small prescription to counteract a hypertensive crisis (antidote) in the event one should occur? Anybody ever actually deal with a hypertensive crisis? (This last question assumes you survived.)
Thanks in advance for your responses.
