EMSAM and Nardil question Posted: 02-03-08 12:36pm
Hi, I have been weening off a tricyclic
antidepressant for a week now, and my
Dr wants to put me on an EMSAM patch or
Nardil for my social anxiety. I was
wondering if anybody has used these, and
how did they work? Thanks

I haven't, but let us know how it works
out for you! We can all learn from your
experience.
Unless anyone else has tried it....

I've been on EMASAM for about 5 months.
It is very, very effective for PTSD
(anger, flashbacks), but it has not helped
with my anxiety and depression. Also, no
side effects or weight gain! But you must
avoid certain foods if you exceed 6 mgs.
I take Abilify for depression (knocked is
right out), and Oxazepam for Anxiety
(works ok - a bit tired).
