Hello,

I am a pseudo-smoker (around 5 cigs per day) that just started on the medication Emsam for depression and anxiety.

When I smoke, I feel awful afterwards - depressed, very tired, sorta anxious, etc...


Anybody else taking Emsam that also are smokers? If so, do you have this problem as well? If you're not a smoker, do you know what or why this bad interaction would be taking place between Emsam and nicotine?

I may have to quit smoking because of this (which would be great), or if I can't do that, smoke a very low or nicotine-free cigarette (Quest).

Any info would be great!!

THANKS
