Thanks Honore;
I'm getting the impression that my pdoc isn't all that into meds...I'm seeing her for therapy but I chose her b/c she could perscribe, too. Anyway I did not ask her why she chose Manerix. She said it was new (and I'm confused now because both you and Q mention that it's been around for a long time.) She also said that it was reversible (which again causes some confusion) but in my very rudimentary understanding, it seems that even the irreversible is not permantnetly irreversible. Anyway, I am atypical depression with ADD so I guess a stimulating AD would make sense. Problem is that I am extremely med sensitive and just about anythning screws up my sleep (doesn't sound like EMSAM will help here either.) And yes, there is a good bit of anxiety, social anxiety, and sleep issues. I was on Zoloft and Dexedrine for a few years and I do not think I slept very long at all during that time. I was hypo manic and pretty irritable. Consequently, I have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, and adrenal fatigue. I definitely need an AD but have tried many, many SSRI, SNRI, etc. type drugs to no avail. I am pretty deperate to try something new. Q mentioned the other MAOI's and possibly being better than EMSAM. You are kind to answer my post. Thank you. Maddie
