We'll I have to say I am thinking this higher dose of 9mg is causing less anxiety. Yesterday was my first day. I was very anxious in the evening for a couple hours for some reason... alot tension in my chest as well (no diet issues... I followed the guidelines). I cut the patch in half last night and slept Ok with the help of benzos. Today I feel less anxious again.... and tired as I'm not sure how well I slept... didn't feel very rested. We'll see how this goes. My fear is the medication is building in my blood level and anxiety will return. I hope the anxiety doesn't hit me as hard this evening... don't understand why that is happening. So I will give this experiment a few more days and hope the anxiety comes down and the depression gets better. The depression has lightened some since I started this EMSAM experiment 5 weeks ago... not sure how long it will take to get much better on this higher dose.
So I guess I should focus on what is going better.
