Hi.
It is too bad that you haven't raised the dosage. Emsam doesn't seem to get many people well at 6mg/24hr. However, if you are sure that Emsam is making you worse, you might consider aborting the trial. I did. I felt worse at the lowest dosage.
It is a hard decision to have to make. Do you think you can tolerate raising the dosage for a few more weeks?

> 6 mgs for 5 weeks. Parnate was too stimulating (made me want to jump out of my skin) and Nardil didn't work the second time (it did back in 1996). I went off Marplan about 2 months ago and that was a bust also. Couldn't go above 30 mgs without practically fainting. I took that for 6 months, I think.
