Greywolf: Emsam gave me energy, which was not a good thing because it jacked up my anxiety. However, I was able to counter some of that by taking 4mg of Klonopin and 100mg of Seroquel (If you can make it just on the Klonopin, that would be super. Seroquel is for sleep).
I think you are correct about Nardil: Had you stayed on it longer or increased your dose, you would have likely benefitted. Here's the good news: According to my pdoc, who is one of the world's top researchers (blah blah blah), he said there is no washout period between switching between Emsam to Nardil or Parnate. However, he did start me off on Nardil 15mg for three days, 30 for two days, before reaching the 45.
I liked Emsam, but I felt like it wasnt hitting my anxiety (GAD) like Nardil could. But I could find out that I was wrong. I am committed to Nardil for 2-3 months and Emsam is my backup plan, despite the outrageous cost.
