Depression
"I tried EVERYTHING to get over what was first diagnosed as depression (30 years ago).  About 12 years ago I started seeing a psychiatrist who thought I might be bipolar, type 2 (mostly depressive, no full-blown manic state) and started me on Emsam.  It took some time-can&#039;t really remember but maybe a month but it works.  Yes, there are side effects-insomnia being the worst but that dissipated in a few months.  We all know that what works for one person may not for another but this is not an SSRI which can&#039;t &quot;touch&quot; depression associated with bipolar.  And you don&#039;t have to be bipolar for it to work.  I know it&#039;s frustrating but give it a shot-maybe you&#039;ll be like me and never have to try another medicine again!"
