It's been a few months since I last posted. I'm BPII with severe OCD problems. I'm currently in CBT for the OCD, and I'm trying to find a pharmaceutical aid for the BP.
Over the past decade, I've been through almost every AD, benzo, MAOI, mood stabilizer, antipsychotic, etc. that you can imagine. I've recently given up on Seroquel because the sedating effect made it impossible to work effectively. I have few options left to me, and my doctor has recommended a VNS implant.
While I am waiting for VNS approval, I am starting on Emsam 6mg, along with Xanax up to 4mg/day. I had a long course of Nardil a few years ago and found it somewhat effective. I expect that Emsam will have a similar ramping up time, and I'm interested in what everyone's experience has been with benefits of the patch. Anything you can pass along would be great.
Thanks.
