Hi floatingbridge,
I am doing very well on 6mg of Emsam. After a rough Summer where I tried Savella, Abilify and Pristiq, it was such a relief to have found something that worked. Only side effects were insomnia which resolved itself after a while and possibly a slight increase in anxiety. No other side effects to report. Well actually it does decrease appetite so its great if you have gained weight on other meds like I have. I have found that the patch wears better on my thigh and I don't get a rash but if I wear it on the chest area I sometimes get a rash. I do feel much better. The only draw back is the exhorbitant price. I pay 200.00 after insurance. Full price is about 500.00. I don't know why it is so expensive.
Let me know how it works for you if you decide to go on it. Good luck
