Hi, I am new to this board and I just started the Emsam patch at the 9 mg/24 hr dose. I had previously been on the 6 mg/24 hr dose for approximately 2 weeks. What I am wondering is how much I really need to worry about the dietary restrictions on this dose of the patch. I do plan to follow the low-tyramine diet of course, but I heard that there has never been a reported case of hypertensive crisis on the patch and that the diet is just a precaution. During my research I have come across quite a bit of conflicting information. I am anxious about accidentally consuming something I shouldn't and I am just wondering if any of you have actually had a problem with hypertensive crisis on Emsam, just to hopefully ease my mind. Thank you!
