Emsam: Emsam is a patch from of an maoi. It was developed to get around dietary and medication restrictions of moai's and there has never been a hypertensive crisis on any food or medication combination. You should wean from zoloft (sertraline) over a few days before starting emsam. I have over 300 pateints on Emsam including 3 family members.
