> I appreciate the response. I have started doing this also. Let me ask you, how long before you sleep do you pull it off, and do you remember how long it took once you started taking it off before you started getting more sleep? It's been a few days for me and still have trouble. Thanks.It worked right away for me. You might also try waiting until you feel you're getting the full response that you expect from EMSAM then begin to cut the patch and only use fractions of it to find the best balance between the ability to sleep during the night and survive the day. Unfortunately this will be a slow process as my experience indicates a 4 week lag in cutting the patch and seeing a decrease in daytime effectiveness. So moving too fast could quickly result in a restored ability to sleep but a looming inability to live. Then by the time you realize you've cut too much off, you have to wait another 4 to 6 weeks to feel better by adding some back.
