A couple of points from some of the previous posts:
I too had terrible luck with Wellbutrin, more anxiety and more socially withdrawn. Not the case with EMSAM to this point though.
Though I had no redness initially, lately I have noticed a few red marks here and there that last about 2 days. Seems I get them on my chest and arms, but not my back. Certainly not a big issue for me. Today I put it on top of my shoulders towards my neck. Perhaps it's just in my mind, but lately I have noticed a slight increase in energy when I place the patch on my upper body compared to my stomach area. It's probably just in my head, but?
Lastly, my doctor mentioned that at the 30 & 40mg patch dose he didn't think there would be issues with diet restrictions, that the FDA just didn't get enough info to approve it that way. That if I needed to go to a higher dose to just "test" the worst food offenders. That most likely there won't be issues. Certainly the drug interactions are there for all doses.
Just my 2 cents worth. Still doing great on EMSAM. Rob
