Yes, finding people who've had experience with Emsam is tricky. Last fall I did a search on here when I was trying to figure something out and discovered that back when I went on it that I had a user name and had asked some questions on this board that I had no memory of posting. I thought the board was entirely new to me in spring of 2015.

I didn't go through what you are. Once I got acclimated to the stimulation I was fine on it. I slept a lot less (5 hours per night and I woke up at 4 AM daily no matter when my patch was applied but I was rested and fine; eventually my meds were adjusted and that stopped). And it took a while to eat normally again because for about 9 months it really limited my appetite but that was it once I was calm on it.

I hope it gets easier for you.
