In reply to new to emsam patch, any help appreciated, posted by bonbon on January 17, 2008, at 4:01:18
I have been on Emsam (Now 9mg) for 7 months. READ THE INSERT THAT COMES WITH EMSAM. At 6 mg there are no restrictions. The restrictions that apply to the higher doses THAT ARE IN THE INSERT allow bottled beers and wine. Not sure about other alcohol but I think its ok. (Again very carefully read the insert.) I would ask your pharmicist about alternate cold medicines. You may want to look into NeilMed saline nasal wash and Fishermens lozenges (Walmart) They have helped me.
I had some low blood pressure but not bad. My insomnia with it is responding to generic Ambien. The main point is that this changed me from a basket case to a happy functioning person. I've been on alot of meds with awful side effects. This has caused no big problems. And it absolutely has made me feel much much better than I could have imagined.
