To me, Emsam was one of the greatest inventions of our time. It was a bold approach by the psychiatry industry, devising a skin patch to transmit a powerful MAIO directly into the blood stream, therefore bypassing taking the same medicine orally and avoiding many food restrictions.
However, for numerous reasons, Emsam has yet to come close to meeting its high expectations from within the pdoc industry. Perhaps they picked the wrong MAOI for the patch, or it was marketed poorly (I never saw an Emsam ad or commercial) or the ridiculous price of the patch turned off both patients and health insurance companies.
All I know is the website www.Emsam.com is gone. I sure hope the actual medicine does not follow it.
