EMSAM Dosage feedback, 6mg or 9mg

Posted by RSidney on November 23, 2009, at 12:23:13

I have been on EMSAM for over 3 weeks, slowly worked my way up (cutting 6 mg patches) from 1.5mg, 3.0mg, 4.5 mg, to now 6.0mg patch for four days.
I had anxiety increase at each level, but not sure if this was due to my symptoms, or medicine increase, or both. Currently my symptoms are still there and each day is "hit or miss" as far as anxiety and depression being good/bad.

My questions is, I have heard upping to 9mg has been very successful for various members of this board, and have also seen other feedback from pdoc's saying they have not had success with patients until 9mg. How long should I give the 6mg patch before talking to my pdoc about making the up to 9mg?

Any personal experience or advice on EMSAM is appreciated!
