Oh. I'm sorry to hear of your experience. I think a lot of us have had some less than ideal encounters with some psychiatrists. (Whew! I sure have...) They're not all bad, though.Initially, just about 6 weeks ago, no one at my pharmacy had heard of EMSAM, and my script bewildered them. They had to special order it. But they've since reported that they attended a seminar, and they are all very interested and excited. So the good news is that the company seems to be on a huge publicity/education blitz, and more and more is turning up in the media about it. It IS a very new and novel treatment, after all. Hopefully if your doctor doesn't know about it yet, he or she soon will. What if you found something in the media by google and brought it in? Or something off the manufacturer's website? (I think-Glaxo Kline Smith (?)) Good luck.
> I haven't asked my doctor if he's heard of it, just wondering what the likelihood would be that he at least knows of the name and what it is. I'm sure he isn't following any reports, because there really aren't any publications of clinical use. No, I don't have access to a psychiatrist. I found one, had a terrible experience. He was the only I was able to see.
