I didn't think a drug with so amphetamine metabolites, albeit, not nearly as with the transdermal absorbtion but there you go, you just never know. What is with the poetry??? A new aspect of rebound?

> You did gain weight? Ughhh... that saddens me. I feel the same way you do. Was it when you increased the dose that you noticed it? I was thinking of asking my doc about EMSAM when I see him in 2 weeks. I no longer think I'll be doing that. I majorly gained on my AD's in the past for no reason other than medication. I just happen to be very susceptible. That just makes me feel worse in the end. Not worth it. :(I personally don't mind 5lbs, it would be well worth it if the drug had worked well. 5 lbs is insignifant to me. That is all I gained. And I can't swear it was the patch. other things going could have done it too. So don't not try it just because of something I said. I am just one person and not even sure if that is what caused me to gain a few measely lbs. It is the 10+ lbs I would find unacceptable. And I have not gained weight on meds that others have and vice versa. What I said about it just isn't applicable to another person's situation.
