On the contrary, I've had so much teeth-clenching with Emsam at anywhere above (get this!) 2 HOURS (3 hrs. TOPS) a day ON at ONE "setting", that I've already broken off a large piece of one of my back teeth.
I'll just continue my side-effects on this thread, now that it has "got going." The gist of all this is, my most "successful" experiment (the latest one) has been:
ON 2 hours, then off; then, I HAVE to go SEVERAL hours, then on 2 hrs. again; then off. A few times , I've managed this 3 times a day. This would cost me, doing it this way, $1,280+ / month, IF my doc would ever even approve it! Mostly all due to GI problems - even back on the dreaded zelnorm for ibs-c/ chronic constipation (I have both) Emsam still shuts my lower GI almost completely DOWN + I find it VERY drying in multiple areas and organs of my body. I forgot to mention extreme urinary retension. I have a good guess, that for me, this drying started up with somewhat early meno at 46; I'm now 54.
Thank you for stating that you DO put it on at night.
(BTW, boy oh boy, can I relate to the any water touching me in the AM!)
