> I forget if you have tried emsam. I ask only because I have ADD too, and it's wicked for me, but I don't want to go back to stimulant therapy. The emsam actually helps a little with my ADD.I tried it in pill form. While it made my depression better, it made the anxiety worse. It got me through a rough patch until I decided to try Nardil (for the first time, late 06/early 07 I think.)
It's metabolized in a different way taking it in pill form, so take that with a grain of salt.
> I am so glad you are feeling improvements. That's wonderful.
Oh, yeah I know. My family and friends have their son/brother/nephew/friend back, really.
Now I work on the psychological setbacks. They don't go away just because the biology's fixed. There are things which so natural in MDD have become habit for me; even ways of thinking about myself. That's nice to (at least for now) not have to focus on getting the meds right. I like that when I go in for refills only. :)

Much appreciated, and likewise.
> (I'll happily read your post back to you if you ever have a bad day and need the encouragement.)Thanks so much. I honestly don't know what people did before the Internet - it puts so much health information at the patients' fingertips. Some doctors I would imagine do not like this. Heh. But not mine!
