This med is really scary because if it doesn't work I don't know what they would do. ECT as a desperate shot in the dark I think. And I know my pdoc said if this doesn't work we mess with my AD (another hospitalization to rapid withdraw the Emsam/start the new drug without 2 full weeks without an AD (which would put me in the hospital anyway I'm suer). But as far as APs go this is about the end of the line.

I've been there with ADs and it worked.I keep reminding myself of that. And now there are new choices to try if the AD needs to be changed.

I just want to do it and start moving on (and feeling better I hope).
