> I just dropped my prescription off at the pharmacy and they said they would have it tomorrow. I am coming off a tricyclic so have to wait till Wednesday to start. I am depression and bad anxiety so hoping for a little miracle of sorts with emsam. Robert did your doc say to put the patch on a different body location each day of the week?
There are instructions in the insert with pictures showing where you can place it on the body. They recomend you put it in different places daily to avoid skin site reactions. You have several options including top of arms, upper left and right side of chest & back, thighs (outside leg), and left/right side of lower back and abs. I've had no issue with skin site reactions so far and have moved it around daily. Good luck, be sure and post how you do! Rob
