I have been on Emsam for nearly a year. It is the best AD med I have ever been on. As far as alcohol, I cannot tell any difference with or without the Emsam. It does not seem to matter, which is great!!!
Insominia has been mentioned. This has been a problem for me for years. When necessary, I would take a small amount of Xanex or 1/2 of an Ambien to sleep. The Emsam certainly did not help. The pdoc said to continue to use either one as needed. After a while, I realized that I had not needed anything for sleep in a long time. It has been so long, that when I cannot sleep, I don't even remember that I have something to take--and just get up and mess with the computer until I get sleepy. Over all, I am sleeping much better with the Emsam that before I started using it--it just took a few months to reach this point.
Hope this helps.
