Arlena, that is exactly my plan for if I go back on Emsam...to keep it on for just a few hours. I'll still get red fiery areas, but I won't keep it on as many hours as before. The most I could ever last was 8. I figure even a few hours' of drug is better than none. My pdoc is a bit timid with it (I'm his only pt on it), but I'm going to see if he thinks we could use a stronger patch (9 mg maybe) since I'll be taking it off sooner. Then of course, the food issues come up...but if it's only on for a few hours, is the dose being delivered going to warrant the MAOI diet, or would it be in the 6 mg range since the patch won't be on all day???? Questions for him to ask the company I suppose...they certainly weren't much help when I called them!
