I hear it works well for my sort of hypersomnolent anhedonic social phobia/ mood disorder.Thanks for your response. I wonder if EMSAM the new MAOI Patch would effect your asthma meds? It may be something for you to consider, I know the diet restrictions aren't the same as other MAOI's ...there might not be any diet restrictions at all..i'm not totally sure. Read up on it if you want..I find it quite interesting and it's a med i would definitely consider if needed. Take care.
