Donna,

I saw my dr. today and she mentioned the possibility of adding lamictal. But we decided to hold off until I see my sleep doctor who has me a a low dose of Lyrica...and get his opinion about maybe raising it. She also mentioned that Seroquel might be an option for sleep if it insomnia is a major problem.

I feel that Emsam has pulled me from the depths of a major depression. I tend to have an agitated depression...some of the side effects are troubling but more of just a nuisance at this point. I'm just so glad to have to some energy. Maybe I do need to get mad at times. My therapist seems to think that I much less respressed. It has not blunted my sex drive or emotions. I'm just riding the wave for now. I'm going with it for now, but I may change for whatever helps me. A work in progress? I appreciate your posts

good luck, Jake


> That is my chief complaint to, the hyper, jumpy easily agitated irritability. The thing is, I have this without medicine so I can't blame the patch, I think since it doesn't numb me out like the other drugs do, I still have my emotions. I just don't like this one at all. I have lost track how long I have been on. I think 4 weeks at 6mg and 2 weeks at 9mg. I forget about food restrictions so I haven't followed any diet although I don't eat much of anything on the bad food list anyway. I felt like I was still depressed on 6mg and I feel better on 9. I don't feel as wonderful as I did the first couple of weeks but I always feel wonderful when I first go off a drug and I had just gotten off effexor. Overall though, I love having some energy, and it is helping with both the depression and anxiety, I like it better than other all the others. I also continue to take klonopin and provigil as I think they help too. But sometimes I feel afraid and desperate because I expected to feel 100% and I don't. I see the pdoc Wed. I wonder if she is thinking lamictal like I am.
