Hi FB,

Hope you are well.

When I took Emsam at the 6mg dose I had very few side effects. I think I had headaches upon starting it, but nothing on withdrawal.

I had to stop due to the rash, but my current pdoc said the company reformulated the adhesive (?)

Thinking back I probably needed the 9mg dose but then you have to follow the MAOI diet.

Can;t anything be simple????

Just able to sit and chat and walk slowly to the beach. My fear is that tolerance would rebuild, I wouldn't feel my limits and overdo or reinjure. However, I was able to enjoy myself and didn't need any norco until about 4:00. 2.5 norco kept pain manageable until bed.
