> I picked up my 30 day supply of 6mg Emsam today and I am afraid to try it after reading the reviews on this board. Most of them have been negative.

> Big chicken here, I am also afraid of all SSRI's and read on Medscape that Effexor/cymbalta now can cause glaucoma, so that is out.

> Does anyone have a suggestion? I am on xanax, 2mg. that's it. My pdoc is really pushing for an antidepressant and I have resisted up til saying yes to the EMSAM. She is "putting my feet to the fire" and making me take an A/D!

Val, what is your diagnosis? Do you need more motivation? If you really don't want an AD then I wouldn't take any. You may want to do some research on selegeline...there's a lot of data out there. If you want to be cautious cut the patch in half and try it that way for a week or so and see how you feel. I'm sticking with it for now and have been mostly pleased, but I still in an experimental mode.

warm regards, Jake
