> I have always slept alot, never had problems there. I have not with EMSAM but I am the only one on the board that I know of that has not had problems with it.
>I haven't had any insomnia problems on Emsam, either. I've been "patching it" for six and half weeks now. Since going from the 6mg patch to the 9mg patch last week, my irritability (the worst side effect) seems to be on the wane -- probably because of the 9mg patch's increased inhibition of MAO-A, which boosts serotonin levels. I do feel a bit less depressed than I did a week and a half ago, but I can't say the drug's effect has been dramatic. I tried a bit of Klonapin (.25mg a day) a few times last week. Taking it before bed did nothing for me the next day. And taking it in the morning just made me drowsy for most of the day. So I stopped taking it. I seem to be better off without it for now.
