> Swiching from effexor to emsam might not be that easy. The ratio of effect on serotonin to catecholamines is likely much higher with effexor, so it is possible to be experiencing side effects related to serotonergic withdrawl for a little while.

> To be honest, it might even take a few weeks for you to know what is emsam and what is effexor withdrawl.I am not sure what you are saying, Link, but it doesn't sound like fun. But it is good to know what to expect. Do you think the ratio thing of which you speak makes it dangerous to wait only a week before starting the patch? I can live with side effects and withdrawals but I can't live with dying....at least I still have a little sense of humor.
thanks for your talking to me.Donna
