The Emsam reactions were horrible. Unbearably itchy. I was at the full dose/patch size, and the only place I could put those patches comfortably was on my legs. I'm a guy, so I had to shave my legs (quadracep area). I would get the reactions in just one day. The entire patch area was red, rash-like, itchy beyond belief.

I tried all over the counter meds to treat the rashes and nothing helped. I even took a dose of prescription drugs (forget the name).. it was a blister pack where you take X-many pills. That got rid of the patches, but you can't stay on that medicine, so, I had to say goodbye to Emsam.

I'd have to go back into to notes to see if I had fatigue with Emsam too.

The fatigue has caused its own share of depression, as I can't get anything useful done, at all. Usually my mood is too low, and I don't have the energy.
