Also, you can sometimes get a single-patient waver from your insurance company, if your doctor makes a case for it being a medical necessity.
I stopped EMSAM after about 13 weeks, with no problem. I was at 9mg, and just stopped. Since I'd been feeling worse on it, I felt better -- which is a sort of withdrawal symptom I didn't mind having, you know?
Good luck -- with both issues.
