Johann: I also took Emsam for three months, primarily for generalized anxiety. I took the 6mg patch and it gave me extra energy, which did not help my anxiety. I took Klonopin and Seroquel to help counter that. My anxiety was 6-7 out of 10 on Emsam, but I wanted to try 10, therefore an am on second week of Nardil.
I was on Emsam's lowest dose, 6mg. That is interesting that you are taking highest dose (12mg) and feeling less anxiety. To me, it seems like more Emsam = more energy = more anxiety.
But perhaps Emsam is like ritalin, and has an opposite effect, such as the more you take the more relaxed you feel. Tell me more about how you are feeling these days on Emsam. Very intersted (will go back to if Nardil does not work after two months, and I guess I will try 12 since it is working for you, which makes me happy).
