> A thousand blessings to you, Lar! My friend thanks you as do I. She willl begin her EMSAM journey tomorrow.
A thousand! Kewl. You're both welcome.
> One last question for the moment for me: I stopped the Topamax tonight. New neuro can't see me until 2/15. Until them, suggesting pediatric dose of phenobarbital, just as a seizure precaution. What do think with EMSAM?
The phenobarbital monograph includes the following precaution: "MAOIs prolong the effects of phenobarbital probably because metabolism of the phenobarbital is inhibited." With older meds like phenobarbital, the pharmacokinetic information is usually quite limited. It's hard to say what kind of a difference taking it with Emsam might produce. With the pediatric dosing, it's probably going to be okay.
> Sorry for taking your time but at the moment I only trust you, first!
I take your faith in me seriously, rest assured.
