Before EMSAM I was just about out of hope that any medicine would ever work for me. I'm so much more productive, I feel like doing things, going places, my concentration has improved and am generally more social (which is important as my primary disorter is Social Anxiety).
What I wonder now is if I'll continue to even feel better in the weeks ahead. A week ago I thought the same thing and indeed I feel better today than ever.
I know everyone is different and not all meds are going to work well for everyone including EMSAM. Perhaps I would have done as well on other MAOI's like Parnate or Nardil, but what I do know is this MAOI, EMSAM is really something special for me.
I have paid no attention to diet and have not had any issues. I do pay attention to drug interactions and threw out all the cold medicines I had to make sure I'd never have brain fade and accidentally take it.
I guess the bottom line is there is hope for everyone. Even if you've failed on EMSAM there's something out there that will help you and new meds will continue to come out as there's just to much money in it for the drug companies. If you're having trouble don't give up hope.
Best of luck to everyone EMSAMer or not. Rob
