last year my pdoc tried to get me to try the maoi emsam. i was not ready, so i ended up on lexapro/remeron. now i am having the side effects i had feared, that i had on zoloft and effexor - the detached apathy and lack of libido and passion.
so, he wants me again to reconsider emsam. would love some words of wisdom from those of you who have successfully switched from a ssri or snri for these reasons. i also have chronic pain and headaches, and he says it would help better with that as well.
change is scary. apathy is self perpetuating. how do i get off the zombie merry go round and take a chance (and put myself through the withdrawal hell) to give it a try?
