EMSAM with transdermal nicotine for ADD control.

Posted by cumulative on August 27, 2007, at 23:49:26

I'm on the 6mg EMSAM patch, soon to bump it to 9mg. School starts mid-september, upon which I will add transdermal nicotine.

This is with an aim healing my severe inattention moreso than any mild mood problems -- I do not tolerate traditional stimulants well and I believe that this combination may be useful. Nicotine has shown efficacy in ADD, and some people report EMSAM might be useful here as well. Improved dopaminergic function? I hope so.

I am not worried about tolerance/dependency from the nicotine, the psychologically addictive potential of which is considered to be very low in transdermal form. Low reinforcement. To deal with physical tolerance I will be tapering down at the end of every three-month semester -- perhaps restarting when the next semester comes if all has gone well.

I'd like to keep a log of this, and I'll keep people updated on efficacy.

It's a bit early, but anyone have any initial thoughts?
