I'd like to try Emsam, but I am concerned about being med free before the Emsam might start working. I'm currently taking 40mg of Lexapro (recently bumped up for OCD) and 45mg of Remeron plus 1.5mg to 2mg of Klonopin a day. My Pdoc has always downplayed the serotonin syndrome, but my bigger concern would be the potential for a hypertensive crisis due to the Remeron and its norepinephrine actions.
I believe the PI sheet states that one should be off an SSRI and Remeron (and others) before starting Emsam. Does anyone know if it would be safe to start Emsam while tapering off other meds?
Thanks. Tom
