In reply to NMS with Emsam?, posted by Sheilac on October 2, 2007, at 13:29:25
"Probably" neuromalignant syndrome? That's incredibly rare, and you get it from antipsychotics. Were you taking an antipsychotic? Your pdoc sounds kind of nutty.
NMS Signs and symptoms
• Muscle rigidity, increased salivation, dyskinesia (difficulty in performing vol. movements), orbiculogyric crisis (uncontrollable upward movement of eyes) and dysphagia.
• Hyperthermia (can be as high as 108 degree F but rarely goes this high), fluctuating blood pressure, increased heart rate, rapid breathing and confusion.EMSAM can cause neck and shoulder tension on its own. Possibly this is related to the peripherally acting amphetamine metabolites. In my experience this problem faded in a few weeks. Sleeping on my side and fixing my posture at the computer seat helped a great deal.
