Emsam seems effective for suicidal depression, which I had when I increased to the 12mg-13.5mg. dose. I actually was prescribed 18mg (2 of the 9mg patches daily) but I felt ill and took only 1/2 of the 9mg patch plus another 9mg. patch.


Thanks for the report.

If you were to view your depression globally instead of evaluating its components, would you say, on the whole, it improved your core depression?

I hope you find success with your next treatment.
