Re: One Month on Emsam

Emsam is my first MAOI. I'm trying it because the two SSRIs I tried -- Lexapro and Zoloft -- both gave me horrible heartburn. (I have a pretty bad problem with digestion; I take 40 mg of Prilosec every day.) Emsam sounded like a Godsend since it comes in a patch, bypassing my poor delicate gut! I tend to think the oral MAOIs wouldn't agree with me much either, plus I don't like the dietary restrictions. I'm thinking that, if Emsam flops for me, I'm back to straight benzos (Klonopin .5 every night before bed; Xanax .5 during the day as needed -- plus Inderol, a beta blocker, when I need to speak publicly or attend a high-pressure meeting or social gathering.)

Thanks for your encouragement, Football!
