Hi Monica. I didn't stay with Emsam, but it might work for you. It is the only MOAI I've tried. I just started my 1st tricylic a few weeks ago, still hoping for some improvement. I went through a phase with my current psych dr where he didn't know what to do anymore because I had tried almost everything and had a lot of paradoxical reactions. (I cried) But he has some more ideas lately. It does get discouraging.
So if you go off of a drug because it has lost its effectiveness, and you try it again later, does it even work again? (If you have tried). Maybe you can do a rotation schedule. jk.
What is your experience with mood stabilizers?
If you don't already, I would write down what meds & combos you have been on, etc. That does suck that you can't stay with a dr.
