I went up on the dosage because the 6 mg patch didnt do anything. So far same story two weeks at 9 mg patch. Never mind that I hate the diet, but at least no side effects so far either. I still have no libido and that sucks but not sure its from emsam as I had no libido before I started it.

> Hey Steve, hope you are not struggling so much now. That is what I want to ask you. I have raised myself the last 3 days to 9mg by cutting a patch in half and adding midday. I knew I was going to need more for depression. At first I thought it was going to give me rage like Wellbutrin but actually it has made me feel less like that and less anxious too. I still fell a little depressed though. I know a couple of days is soon to tell if 9mg will help with that but I am glad it is seeming to help with the anxiety more, suprise. My question, has going to 9mg helped with the depression, if that is indeed your reason for going up?
