I have trouble with the patch falling off so one trick I use it to heat it up with a hair dryer to make it stick well. (it works)
I have noticed that it seems to 'kick' in faster when I apply heat. I don't get anxiety from emsam but I do notice a difference in my mood when I apply a fresh patch. Heat seems to amplify it a bit. makes sense. The patch was designed to work with warm skin both in adherance and release. Heat amps this-not a stretch.
Also, don't feel badly about the time between showering. Depression causes us to neglect these things. I can judge my level of well being by the degree I am able to self-care. it's ok. You are not alone.
Peace,
Kaye
