I'm usually in a very hostile mood and tend to snap out at people for no good reason. My wife and kids left me a few years ago and I was let go from my job shortly thereafter after lying to my boss and in an official investigation. I've taken several medications but nothing seems to help. I live in a rural community in Woodsfield Ohio where everyone knows everyone. I'm frequently abused because of my sexual prefrences. Maybe the patch would help get me strightened out. Any advice would be appreciated. I can’t seem to keep a job or to get along with co-workers.

I have seen some extraordinary prices quoted for Emsam in the US, though (circa $400 per month), so I wonder whether NICE would be slow to approve it for use by the NHS? All the best, Greg Hi Mary,

Now that there is a possibility of this much safer method, the patch, I am interested. I'm not sure if it will be available in UK - does anyone know, please?

A "safer" MAO that my doctor is willing to prescribe! I hope it works as well as the Nardil did and doesn't stop working after a few years as the Nardil also did. Finally!
