Umm. I didn't see your questions about blood pressure.
I felt the emsam start up was slow, which was good for me
My blood pressure is low. But I did not have any problems on emsam like maoi's and going from lying down to standing. No more than usual, maybe less, because I *slowly* started to feel a little better physically.
I had exacerbated sleep problems. Some here have said that resolves. Insomnia has always been big for me, and my doc did not give me proper sleep support :-/ so I am off right now. I would say, only speaking from my experience, a sleep plan in place, just in case is a good idea.
There was no other side effect for me besides sleep. It seemed *gentle* to me.
I only went as far as the 6mg patch.
You say you are alone. Will you let me know if you are in touch with a doctor, at least by phone? Thanks.
