> I had a doctor that was about to give me emsam, finally! but then just as we go around to finalizing what was left of my med regime, she says I wont go higher than 6mg. Not much good at 6mg!
>
> No one on the forum 'MAOI doctors' list up where I live. This is all getting kinda old.
> Anyone had luck doing these online pharmacy things and getting someone to give you a script for a fee?
> I have insurance but if this is all I can get around here whats the point may as well pay for something that gets me functional again.
> All the docs around here are OBSESSED with liability. Geez, ever heard of MAOI diet and nifedipine? These new docs have largely lost the art its horrible.
> Its not like I have any pre-existing health issues other than depression. And if this continues.. I WILL get health issues due to inactivity and weight gain. but you cant sue them for that right? </snark>
>What are her reasons for not going higher? I didn't get much effect until 9 mg. At 12 mg I began to feel food reactions (coffee, chocolate).
