In reply to EMSAM users..please post.....Need advice, posted by stargazer on January 23, 2007, at 8:27:15
I have been taking Emsam for 19 days for anxiety and depression. No doubt, it gives me a little boost of energy, which I am not so sure is good for my anxiety. However, I have been feeling better in recent days.
You know, I asked the pdoc the same question: Because of cost, could I get the 12mg and just cut them in half for 6mg? He said no, and I can't remember exactly why, something about cutting it in half wouldn't give it the true 6mg effect.
If I were you, and you didn't feel 6mg was enough, I would simply put on two of the 6mg patches. Yes that would give you a 12mg effect. If you wanted less, perhaps you could wear one 6mg patch all day, and then the other 6mg patch for 5-6 hours. This is just a theory. Consult your doctor before you do anything (disclaimer).
