In reply to EMSAM and weight gain? Anecdotal answers?, posted by Racer on August 11, 2007, at 2:02:37
Racer, I've lost weight since stepping up Emsam to the 9mg patch, and it's weight I can afford to lose. My diagnosis includes eating disorder NOS (basically, binge eating without purging) and as long as I follow a reasonable food plan while on Emsam, my eating disorder is about 75% in remission. It's remarkable relief.
As always, I feel the need to follow up by noting that everyone's individual mileage will vary, though I know you know this. Emsam has been working well for me, but I've experienced a few issues in the last several weeks and am tending towards hypomania. Will be adding Lamictal as stabilizer in the next few weeks with a standard titration schedule up to 100mg/day; if that negatively impacts the eating, I'll plan to let you know.
