Thanks! I am so sensitive to meds, so I am on a quarter patch a day. Will ramp up to half a day, then do what you mention. Maybe I'll even get to 6 mgs!
I never could get more than 20 mgs of parnate in me, but it was very effective at that dose (until it wasn't anymore).
So far, emsam (at a quarter patch) seems to have only one SE--a little agitation. I'll take it versus the sedative effects of cymbalta and effexor!
> adjusting how much time you keep the patch on is another way to adjust the dose. i was told taking the 6mg patch off at night (8 hours) would be the equivalent of a 4.5mg dose per 24 hours.

> good luck!
