Hi - Has anyone found a way to help reduce/prevent the raised, red itchy circles on my skin from the Emsam patch? Each mark that it leaves behind seems to last about 3-4 weeks. Except for this side effect, the combination of Emsam + less than 1 mg of Abilify seems to be working without the more debilitating side effects of previous combinations that I've tried over the last 20 years. (Most recently before this, extreme sleep problems on Nardil+Abilify, and hot flashes/weakness/heart racing for about an hour after each time I took Parnate.) So I am hoping there is a way to make this work, but after a month I have so many marks on my skin that its starting to look kind of funny. My doctor suggested that I try an antihistamine like zyrtec but it hasn't helped. Has anyone else found a solution to this?
