> What kind of med is Zyprexa and how does it help you? Why did you decide upon EMSAM and how long do you plan to continue for unless there are positive results?
It's an atypical antipsychotic, one of the new ones, like Geodon or Seroquel. It takes away suicidal thoughts and lifts the depression to a degree that it's bearable.
I'm not sure about the EMSAM. I guess I'll give it at least three weeks. Two on the 6mg and one more on the 9mg and if there is no improvement, I guess I'll ditch it.
I tried EMSAM because I had such bad side effects on the SSRIs and tricyclics (and not a great response either).
I have treatment resistant depression.
