hi Stargazer
I too was looking at supplementing my focalin (for ADD) with EMSAM but someone on this board has suggested there may be a synergistic response to an Adderrall/EMSAM combo and has been using that, even though it's not normally prescribed
is your pdoc willing to prescribe both the stim and the EMSAM? There are warnings about it and I think it would take an educated pdoc to be willing to try it
also have you any experience with MAOI's in the past? How's your blood pressure? Mine and Liama's are normally low with MAOI's actually making them much lower - the stims in this case would help. But MAOI's often carry possible hypertensive problems which, if you've responded like that to say Nardil or Parnate, or have high bp to begin with, might make it a dangerous combo
I'd be curious to hear your story.what put you on the stim/EMSAM combo trail to begin with? :)
please keep me updated on what you try?
good luck!
namaste,
