Seems you don't hear about it much anymore. What dose are you on? Emsam still as expensive also? That med was one I wanted to try but told too stimulating by pdoc. Do you find it stimulating? Phillipa

Personally I wanted to try it. But as I said no from pdoc. Anyway I've always liked the idea of being able to see the med and a patch allows this and if things are bad take it off. Yes the drug is in you still but at least to me I would know that it soon would be gone. There are some that have liked it and said the reason they stopped was the rash from the adhesive. I've heard cortisone cream helps the rash. When new so many did take it. I feel the high price has caused some to not try it. Just my thoughts but at 6mg no dietary restrictions at all. Can you try samples of it? Phillipa

Conundrum and rculator, would you let me know of any results? I've never let go of this as an option. You could babblemail if you think of it, only because I'm not on board as much.
Good luck rculator.
And to your mom, Conundrum.

My mother has been off and on it for about 5-6 years nows. It's excellent, it works spectacularly for her, and unfortunately it is sickeningly expensive.
