In reply to Three weeks on EMSAM 6 mg. Not working., posted by Economist on March 31, 2010, at 16:07:41
6mg/24h Emsam gave me a quick boost of some energy and then I started sliding again. Nothing at all for you?
(At 6mg I had very mild insomnia, no skin rash. Insomnia, hypotension, and a bit of morning nausea showed up at the higher doses...all pretty manageable.)Keep in mind the real antidepressant doses are the higher ones (9mg and 12mg...took me the highest @ two weeks or so to feel noticeably better).
Most people need that MAO-A action (which comes at higher dosages...and also requires the diet too) to address depression with MAOIs. Low-dose Emsam isn't a real test of MAOI effectiveness in action, you might say.
