I have no trouble with its sticking to my skin-- but I can believe that people with different skin types might. It's a shame you had that problem, Jeff. I remember our discussing it earlier.
I used Emsam for four months last spring/summer and had to stop. I started again and have used it this time since December. This time around, I've found several packages had much more reactive adhesive than any of the earlier packages. Since the reaction tends to be worse in hot weather, it should have been the reverse.
This time, there have been lots of patches that I've either had to take off after an hour or two, or have been ready to rip off, but left on despite terrible itching, for the whole time. I definitely think they're either putting on more adhesive, or not controlling the quality.. Whichever, it could, by itself, put the drug at risk.
I sure hope they figure out what they're doing wrong.
