In reply to 3 months on EMSAM - My take on it, posted by RobertDavid on July 1, 2006, at 16:07:04
Rob,
Thanks for your informative post. I've been on 6 mg Emsam for about 5 weeks. Also taking klonipin and restoril at night and 50 mg Lyrica in the early evening. The Emsam is not working as well as it did at first, I still get an energy boost but minimum antidepressant effect. My blood pressure has gone up and I'm not sure what to attribute that to. I'm under a lot a stress and sometimes use evening cocktails to relax although I know alcohol is not advised. I'm going back to the PA Monday to re-evaluate.
But to my question. If I remember correctly you tried Lyrica for a while. At first I found Lyrica to be great for SAD with as well as helping with mood. But now those effects have diminished. Was that your experience with Lyrica? I was presribed Lyrica to help with getting more deep sleep..it may be helping there but I'm not sure.
Warm regards, Jake
