> warm regards, JakeIt is on the short list of what to try when my current cocktail poops out. I get poop out about every 10 years, when TCA's stopped working but prior to Effexor coming out I tried most of MOAI's that were on the US market. They all worked very well but as usual I needed a higher dose. I was very sensitive to the "cheese reaction" & the no no foods are some of my faves. I had a few events where we could not assoc. a food with the reaction so we moved off MAOI's to Effexor when it came out.
My psycopharmacologist has a number of people on Emsam, I think he was or is envolved in clinical trials with Emsam. We are waiting to see if it can be given in higher doses w/o dietary restrictions.
However I am just 2 years into my present cocktail (Wellby + Provigil) which works well, so unless I have a breakthrough depression or otherwise go out of remission there is no reason to switch.
