I have been thru years of major depression/ dysthymiaI i.e. "Double depression". I have been treated by a good psychiatrist and tried lots of meds and all the side effect crap. Some periods semi-functional- mostly nonfunctional or in the dark pit. No real relief.
Since 7/25/07 I have been taking Emsam 6mg (with 2 other meds). I have probable Crohn's and it seemed to aggravate that but a new gastro drug fixed that problem. As time goes by on Emsam I feel it has changed my life. Not perfect- still some SHORT periods of major depression and minor side effects. I am functional and feel moderately upbeat 90% of the time. At first the gastro problem almost made me give it up but I am so glad I did'nt.
Weight Gain> My appetite and weight have not changed but I need to loose some weight.
Sedation / Brain Fog> I am more together and more able to be motivated and accomplish things. And enjoy things. (this is not normally me- I am quite low energy) Even when fatigued my mental outlook is good.
Hypotension> I have been a bit hypotensive but this is not a major problem. If it becomes one I will probably deal with it rather than go off Emsam.
