> Hi,
> It's been a while since you posted, but for what it's worth, here's my input. I tried the 6 mgs patch for only two weeks. I was sooooo miserable still that I insisted on going to the next higher dose. I've only been on the 9 mgs patch for two days so it's too soon to tell. I am not afraid of the dietary restrictions, as for blood pressure, we'll have to wait and see. I start out with low blood pressure. My psychiatrist had tried hard to have me give the 6 mgs longer of a chance. But I had been in a hole for too long. I had been on an SSRI that was not working enough. I had been admitted to the hospital psychiatric ward because of a major depressive episode while on my SSRI. Then I had to wait three weeks before starting the Emsam. So, really, I cannot say that the 6 mgs cannot work, but I can say that, where I was, and in two weeks, I had seen zero benefits. I hope to remember to update folks here about what happens on the 9 mgs.Just read your post and wondered if you're still on the Emsam patch 9mg. and how its working for you?
Thanks, Karen
