> Jedi does the patch cause wt gain too? Love PJ Ed_uk's name for me I'm going to use it now
Hi PJ, (Nice new name)
The research I've read shows no more weight gain than on placebo. More of a chance to have a small weight loss.In placebo-controlled studies (6-8 weeks), the incidence of patients who experienced 5% weight gain or weight loss is shown.
Incidence of Weight Gain and Weight Loss in Placebo-Controlled Trials With EMSAM.
Weight Change EMSAM Placebo
......................(N=757) (N=614)
Gained >=5%...2.1%....2.4%
Lost >=5%.......5.0%....2.8%

Good luck on your new trial,
Jedi
