The downside to it is there is no time release technology, you can feel it after 20 minutes, then it slowly tapers off in 4-6 hours. Getting the dose right is another serious problem. It's usefulness as an antidepressant / antianxiety medicine is greater then any pills I've tried.

I know I wrote the original message about Emsam and fatigue, but I honestly can't remember it causing me fatigue. I remember it working "ok" as an AD, except for the awful rashes. I could have had fatigue just from the depression, I don't know, I wrote the original post 2 years ago. ;)

To answer your question though, I did stick to the MAOI diet with the patch, and the pills.

Interesting about the plant. I'll stick to the pharmaceuticals myself. I can't imagine growing my own meds. ;) I'd probably screw up the dosage.

I just switched to a TCA and Abilify to control the severe irritability I would get when using the TCA by itself (it causes some manic reaction in me). I can't seem to get to sleep normally, so I also take Seroquel at night. If things improve just a little, and *stay that way* for a few weeks at least, I might be headed back to the job market. I've been out of work for 3 years now. Pretty sad.
