Hi. Just quick.
I am not feeling any start up Emsam 6mg. In May, at half a patch, I had transitory 'ramp up' sensations at days three and five. I stopped after a month. Then had an entire month off.
Today is the end of day five. The new doc was already talking about probably needing to go to upper ranges at our first visit. I'm concerned about this. It worked gently once before.
So, could I still benefit at 6mg? I'm not asking meds to do everything anymore. Just want to not be stuttering, massively sad, and able to leave my house unescorted.
I see this new doc next week. He thinks I am severely depressed.
So increase time between doses is like four weeks? I don't want to overshoot and lose a therapeutic window....
