Stargazer-
What I found with EMSAM dosing is that I definitely plateaued (or maybe a slight decrease in effectiveness) after about 5-6 weeks at 6mg. I started with it during the first week of June.) My pdoc pushed it to 9mg then and I was on that dose for maybe 2 months and did better. I didn't notice any decrease in effectiveness while I was on the 9mg patch. My pdoc thought that I could do even better at the highest dose, so in September we decided to go to the 12 mg and I'm still there and it's definitely improved my function (and even mood more than I had gotten early on). I haven't noticed any decrease in effectiveness since September, so this dose seems to have held me so far. My pdoc had to change me over from seroquel to trazadone for sleep, and it's working really well. He says that he may try Provigil after the holidays for enhanced effect for the trazadone/EMSAM combination. Anyway, this is how it's worked for me.
Good Luck and Happy Holidays.
