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.... Smile

EMSAM

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).
