I'm beginning to wonder what the difference is between the Emsam patch and meth?! Phentermine (a diet pill) doesn't even effect me like Emsam does.
I wonder if Emsam is really helping my depression or is it just making me high and hyper?
If I don't take something to counter the high I can get pretty outragous.
I wonder if Phentermine is almost better than Emsam.

Trish no one wanted to try EMSAM as much as me but pdoc said too stimulating for me I even have two boxes of samples can't use. Love Phillipa I think a different med.

I agree. I thought about cutting the patch in half, but I don't know. Even the Xanax doesn't calm me down. I'm not sure what the purpose is of using the patch if I have to take meds to sleep, stabilize my mood and take a benzo just to sit still.
Like I said, even a diet pill has less boom than the patch.

See, now Emsam isn't really speeding me up to any great degree so that is how one med works differently for another person. We can't always use another's experience for our own benefit.
And provigil makes me dizzy and lightheaded and everyone else gets more alert on it.

Emsam alone only makes me pooped out and lethargic. HARDLY speed-like. I can't even use it without a stim, ie low-dose ritalin or amphetamine. Maybe it's not your ideal med?
