"where has this medication been hiding? i&#039;ve suffered from depression for 18 years, having to change medicines every couple years and usually never feeling too good...just pulling myself through everyday. i&#039;ve been on zoloft, effexor, prozac, cymbalta with low dose abilify and wellbutrin. finally a month ago a new doctor suggested the emsam patch.  i feel like the darkness has been lifted.  i have energy, can concentrate and actually look forward to doing or planning things. even the adderall i had once taken to help increase my energy level didn&#039;t do what this patch is doing.  emsam has changed not only my life, but my family&#039;s as well."
