Well, I always need huge amounts of everything. It's kind of charming reading these posts and hearing people say that they're gingerly making the switch from the 6mg to the 9mg patch.

I was prescribed a month of 6 and a month of 12. I did the 6mg for one day, then went to the 12. That was too fast and made me hypomanic and irritable. So then, on the advice of Mr. Expensive Office Furniture, I alternated the two strengths--a day of 6mg, then a day of 12mg. I did this for four days. Then I went to the 12mg and **never** **looked** **back.**

(Pardon the breezy tone of this post; I'm feeling punchy.)

Well, it works! I know it'll stop working, as they all do, eventually, but I've been on this for seven weeks, and I feel great. No jitters. Some--I don't want to say "sleep trouble"--more like "absolutely no need for sleep." I just take my Seroquel at bedtime, and that handles that.

EMSAM is as powerful for me as Remeron was, and that puts it in a class way above every other AD. Prozac, for example, is very pretty with its soft green and yellow capsules, but *all* the SSRIs are so ineffective for me I may as well make a mosaic of Prozac capsules on the wall with Krazy Glue.
