> There are very few posts about Emsam. I have started the 6mg patch. I noticed agitation, loss of libido and E.D. only slight mood and motivation and mood improvement.
My experience with 6mg emsam was first week felt excellent, lots of energy. Then had to move up to 9, then 12. At that point food rescrictions come into play so I switched to Parnate. Same thing. First week excellent response. Then it took a couple of months of unpleasant side effects before it started working. The s/e's went away then also. I had had a sudden bout of mdd and parnate took care of roughly 60% of that.As for loss of libido, I had the complete opposite effect with both maoi's. I think your reaction is unusual, not sure though. Good luck.
