Thank you for trying to help. I did call my doctor and he will not let me try Florinef and wants me to quit EMSAM and try some new Alzheimer's drug that was just approved for depression. I don't know the name.
I do not want to quit just yet because it's only been 7 weeks. I wanted to give it 8 weeks, at least. My husband is going to buy me some Gatorade and see if that helps. I also made an appt with my family doctor on Aug 4th (kind of a long wait) to discuss my blood pressure.
Nardil, Marplan and EMSAM gave me the same side effect and I ended up quitting. That's why I can't understand why my doctor is so against letting me try Florinef. How else do you raise your blood pressure? I tried salt pills and that didn't work. I drink water all day but I do not eat a lot of salt. I don't like salt. Hopefully Gatorade will get rid of these spots in front of my eyes.
Thanks again for caring.
