It is totally stimulating. I was on the 12mg patch and could not sleep at all, including one horrible New Years weekend (this year) where I had insomnia for 4 straight days despite staying away from caffeine. It was a real struggle to get through the workday dealing with the weight of "heavy eyes". I got my pdoc to dial it back to 9, and guess what? I'm depressed again! And I still have sleep issues, but not as bad as when I was on 12. I also started gaining weight again after starting this because the cocktail of pills I was on before EMSAM killed my hunger "signal".
