In reply to EMSAM - anyone still using this?, posted by Atmlady on August 10, 2015, at 19:40:18
I'm so excited!! Doc says I can try EMSAM, but I have to wean off the Prozac first, which I have started. Have been on 60 mgs Prozac and 450 Wellbutrin for years, and it works for my MDD, but I'd like to have an orgasm or two before I die, if you know what I mean. I asked about the new drugs, Brintellex and Viibryd, and he said they are just as bad as the other SSRI's as far as sexual side effects.
So ... currently taking only 40 mg Prozac, then next week down to 20 and then Prozac free for a month before I can try. Not sure if I have to wean off the wellbutrin or if I can just go direct from that to the patch. Crossing my fingers that the MDD doesn't get too bad during the weaning process.
Questions: How is it as far as weight gain? I have gained while on Prozac and hoping I won't have that problem with EMSAM.
Also, how is it with attention/memory - any issues? I'm kinda spacey and not sure whether that's the Prozac or I'm just getting older, but it would be nice to feel a little more attentive and motivated....
