Had a very successful response to 3mg (1/2 a patch) late last fall, and stayed on medication for 5 months. Discontinued becuse I felt I was doing so well.
Experienced very difficult life situation last April and returned to EMSAM at various strengths with little relief to lift the severe depression.
The only difference in my medications with EMSAM is this time my doctor added 3mg Xanax exteneded release due to high degree of agitation and anxiety which I never experienced before.
My questions are:
1. Has anyone been off EMSAM then tried it again to find it did not work like the first time?
2. Can the addition of the Xanax (now down to 1.5mg per day) block the positive effects previously experienced on EMSAM?
3. Does Xanax cause sexual side effects? Have strong desire, but experiencing clitoral numbness.Thanks
