I've been on emsam 6mg for 5 weeks now. Like some others here I feel more active but don't feel better, i.e. more hopeful, etc. I started with lamital about 10 days ago, still pretty anhedonic. I've also tried the DL-phenylaline with it. Still, up at at things but with my mood is still not much improved. (In the past had real mood boost with lexipro and geodon but both pooped out eventually.) Though, now I'm thinking of getting off the emsam and getting back on those. The psychpharm says it's still too early to tell re the emsam. Have people had really good responses to emsam suddenly on their 6th week? Seems unlikely to me. I don't want to go up on the emsam because of the irritability effect which I'm experiencing quite a bit of on this dose. I guess my ? is: What combinations have worked for people w/ emsam? any ideas out there for treating anhedonia and irritation?
