I am really med sensitive and could not tolerate most any drug given to me. Either it was horrid anxiety or terrible physical problems like skin, or nausea or prostate problems or just pick one from the PI sheet and I had it. That is why this is so amazing and I know its only two days but not a problem yet and I am wondering what will happen over the next week. So to answer your question, YES I am med sensitive in a big way. So you remember Adam's posts from 5 years ago? That made me feel a little better since I was on nardil for 3 weeks at 45 mg with no response and was attaching them to emsam in the its not gonna work thinking and being depressed all the time its like adding gasoline to a fire.
> I would definitely not throw in the towel until the "obligatory" 6 weeks. I'm glad you brought up Adam's experience during the trial. I remember those posts. He was sure he wasn't going to respond and then finally did in week 5.

I am sensitive to the point where trying to start up on SSRIs induces nausea to the point of puking, vertigo/dizzyness and either more depression or horrendous anxiety. Just trying to see where you fall in the med sensitive spectrum to judge the no side effect thing.
