Wow, it is interesting that they are coming more & more to using patches for medications. I don't know anything about emsam. I do know that using patches for medication are a great way of taking a med. I am on a narcotic (fentynal) that is in patch form that has to be changed every 3 days. I hate swollowing pills, so the use of a med entering my body through the skin makes it much easier to use the med. I hate trying to remember taking pills & I end up choking on them when I do.

I guess it wouldn't be a bad thing to try, but I would request only filling a small amount of the prescription before filling the whole thing. That way you can know if causes you any bad side effects before sinking in money for the whole amount of the med.

Good luck on the use of this med....I am sure that many of us will be interested in how it works for you.
