> Anyway, another thing I noticed about EMSAM is that exercise increases its benefits. So just going for a run in the afternoon, which I've been more inclined to do anyway, seems to help. That, and making sure to get enough sleep. So I guess that's a pretty old prescription, sleep and exercise, but in combination w/ an MAO-inhibitor, it seems more pronounced.
Man, I wish I could do that. Exercise that is. To depressed, un-energetic, and non-motivated to even begin. Even something like walking. Sad.
Got my new 12mg/24 patch, and it's *bigger* than then 6mg patch... maybe by about 50-75%.. I didn't measure it yet.
I'm getting skin reactions to wherever I put the patch, and I'm running out of new places to put the patch (new being a place where it won't come off by muscles flexing, etc, and where there is no hair.. I guess I could shave part of my quads and put the patches there.. dunno.. I've had rashes for days now and they are healing very very slowly.
Mood still aint great, and I'm still exhausted (actually got worse again for seemingly no reason). Needed to take naps two days in a row, or fall asleep on the floor.
This is hell. I can't accept another AD failure. There's almost nothing left to try.
Maybe I'll be lucky next time I'm out, and a plane will land on me and put me outta my misery.
