Wish I had the site for the med interrations where you type in a med and then another and they add them together and tell you if it's safe. Someone out there should have the link. Love Phillipa

EMSAM is not safe to take with an SSRI like Paxil. It is likely to cause serotonin syndrome, excess serotonin activity resulting in often rapid symptoms which can be fatal.

I was thinking about trying 10mg Paxil again. Do you take the name brand or generic? Do you take your Paxil in the morning or at bedtime?

Nope, neither of those. MAOIs and SSRIs are no-nos together, because of the risk of serotonin syndrome which has already been pointed out. Cymbalta also carries the same risk.
Sorry...
