Told ya.
You're right: It is hard to know how the combinations are affecting me, but other people have had similar responses to EMSAM.
As to cost, they're expensive. Some are generic, like klonopin, lithium, and gabapentin (Neurontin), and the others cost $35 per prescription, except for the $150/month EMSAM! When he can, my psychi is good about writing me a script for more than I'll actually need in one month.
Being self-employed, with a $2000 deductible, I pay a lot, but as long as I can afford it, I feel I don't have any other choice. I'm not hospitalizing myself again, and I haven't felt seriously suicidal in months--maybe since the EMSAM.
Wishing you the best,
Johann (not Johanna)
> Johanna: I hope my headline didnt come across the wrong way. Thats just a lot of other meds, which is perfectly fine if it works for you. The only thing tough for me to figure out in all of this is ... is the Emsam really helping you on its own or being boosted by one of those other meds? Thanks for sharing your combo, though. Please keep me updated with your progress. Michael
