In reply to EMSAM- tounge edema, hyperkinesia, posted by idolamine on May 29, 2006, at 12:59:00
> 4th day on EMSAM- good response in many ways, but tounge problems and hyperkinesia becoming intolerable.
What exactly do you feel about your tongue?
it might not be the emsam-- there are some non-specific tongue/.mouth irritations that can occur, for reasons not well understood, and also that are usually self-limiting.
I had the problem concurrently with cymbalta, and it persisted long after I stopped cymbalta, although the severity is much less. Cymbalta definitely seemed to exacerbate it, although probably didn't cause it--or might have caused it to pass the threshold where I noticed it.
You could check with your doctor, to see if emsam could have any effect. I kind of doubt (as a layperson, of course--and based on my own experience, which is somewhat inconclusive, to be honest) that it's causing it per se.
