Like many people, I have tried over 20 plus different medications for MDD/Anxiety..
Some have worked, but usually just for a short amount of time, where others had intolerable side effects..The EMSAM Patch works so well, I have my life back, with being able to do daily tasks, take good care of myself, sleep well, and have a positive attitude towards life..I need to say, I do take other medications, so I am not really sure, which one is working or not, but I do know, and am so very grateful, that I have a psychiatrist who knows his meds, and we have found a combination that works, to help my neurochemical system stay, and to continue to be balanced..
I also need to say, that I was on these “other” meds before trying the patch, and was still experiencing depression and disabilitating anxiety, but once I started the EMSAM patch, I started to feel better quite quickly..I was on the 6 mg. to start, and was bumped up to 12 mg. after a few weeks, and have been without depression or anxiety for over a year now..The only drawback, is the skin irritation that the patches leave..Very itchy, red bumps, and sometimes blisters, that take quite some time to heal..Especially the blisters..But, as suggested in the directions for use, I put the patch on in a different place, every 24 hours..Read More Read Less
