@June08 Have you ever been on Emsam (or any MAOI, Emsam is just easier)? No ADs worked for me either but this does. I've been on it 15 years now and it still works. There are no side effects. At first when I was adjusting to it there was some agitation but that only lasted about a month and if I had followed the tapering schedule it probably would have been less. (The hospital wanted me on a low dose for a month; I convinced my family doctor who was filling in for my pdoc to increase the dose faster than that. I have no regrets but I did probably make it a little harder on myself).


Not all pdocs prescribe it. But if you haven't had success with anything else it might be worth asking about.
