> I have been on Emsam for over 2 years. Plus 150mg Lamictal(NOT GENERIC LAMICTAL!)and 2 mg clonazapam.. Emsam did'nt work well till I'd been trying it for a while. The bump from 6mg to 9mg did the trick. I am not considering stopping Emsam.

And yet, when I'm not hit by sleepiness I feel plenty of energy and no depression.I am back in college after 30 years and doing well. Hope this helps.Wow.
Did you try any other MAOIs? I'm wondering if I should give Emsam another go if Marplan doesn't work out... I should call the pharmacy I filled my selegiline pills at to find out what dose I was taking. (It seemed to make me anxious as hell and prone to anger, like Wellbutrin--did that happen to you?)
So ya guys, the relief I've had on Marplan has been infrequent and short lived I am sorry to report...I am going to stay on it until my next appointment and I think the doc wants to try adding Synthroid.
