I have had significant anxiety problems, which were relieved by nardil years ago (but I had to stop it due to serious weight gain side effect).
In fact, there are very few medications I can take for anxiety/depression because most exasperate the anxiety-- e.g., if I ever took a SSRI for more than a week I would have to kill myself! The anxiety caused by the SSRI would drive me insane otherwise.
Yet I suspect Emsam will relieve anxiety for most who suffer it. I'm on day 3 of it, though these days my problem is not so much anxiety, as mild depression and apathy (that happens as you get older!).
Anyway, folks, try the patch even if you have anxiety-- that's my point.
