Since I have so many problems with side effects from SSRIs and SNRIs, the doc suggested I try Emsam. Not sure what to expect.
Any weight gain or other problems? experiences?

For me, no weight gain or any other adverse effects other than drastically lowered blood pressure- which is currently remedied by small amount of adderall, which so happens to be a fabulous augmentor to the Emsam. (Speaking for myself.)

I found Emsam to have the least number of SE's as compared to all of the other AD's I've taken, so you may the same results.
I have had some lightheadedness and dizziness at times but I have had that even prior to starting Emsam so not sure if related.
The only thing I don't like about the patch is rotating sites and remembering to apply it especially when starting it.
