>I agree, jealibeanz. I don't have any medical training but I still talk to my pdoc about what I've read. That's how I came to be on Emsam. I'd read about the FDA approval and asked my pdoc about it. I was his first patient to try it.
I think the more upfront & honest you can be with your doc (e.g., telling him about your depression) the better chance of his helping you.
Good luck! and please let us know how it goes!
