Thanks for great info! I'm hesitant to increase to 9mg on Emsam mostly because of the dietary restrictions that don't matter so much on 6mg. That and I've already got 3 mo worth of 6mg patches from my mail order pharmacy.
When I started on Emsam, my skin broke out horribly and I "coincidentally" developed extremely low iron anemia and my hair fell out noticeably. Since I've taken iron supplements it's improved and over time so has the acne but I equate these with Emsam and am a little selfish/vain about it, I admit.
Since I last posted, I paid more attention as to where I had been applying my patch. Trying to move it around, I had sometimes put it on the inside/underside of my bicep or on the side of my torso on my bra line. Now that the weather is cooler and I'm more covered, I applied it above my breast on my pec (like the man in the patient insert illustration), and basically back to the obvious locations as shown. I've noticed some mood improvement. It might be too soon to really know but maybe I wasn't absorbing the med when it was in more "creative" places.
