There's so much conflicting info out there about EMSAM! Very confusing. If people have found that the dietary restrictions with the 9 and 12 are exaggerated, maybe that's the drug company and doctors being hyper-cautious??? I'm gonna go check out those threads you refer to. Thank you.

Whatever, I'll only have to wait for a day or two for the 9's, so maybe I'll just hold off lest I do something really drastic by accident.
