Hello babblers,
I have been on EMSAM since February now, and it works wonders for my mood, although it seemed to take even longer to kick in than other meds I have been on (I think about six weeks or so to feel full effect). I have had problems with a number of side effects, including insomnia, weight loss (I'm 5'8" and now down to 116 lb or so), and severe acne, but I manage these effects with supplements or other medication so that they don't really bother me too much most of the time.
I do have a question for anyone with EMSAM experience, though. I have noticed that I sometimes feel very dizzy when I drink alcohol while on this medication. It's not too fun. I know that it's not recommended anyway, but I'd like to hear anyone's experiences with EMSAM and alcohol, positive, negative, or neutral. Is this unusual or weird?
Thanks,
Blossom
