I started the Emsam patch on the 5th of November. I'm on 6mg/24hrs right now, although I'll probably have to up it. It's making my insomnia worse than usual and I'm (of course) getting redness under the patch that lasts after it's removed. Those are tolerable, at least for now, since I'm rather desperate for this to work. What I'm having trouble tolerating is the nausea. I feel incredibly ill in the mornings and after I eat during any time of the day. I can hold food down most of the time, but it's very unpleasant. I think this problem might be exacerbated by the fact I've got a rather nasty cold, and the mucus running down the back of my throat can make me nauseous... Hopefully, that's mostly what it is. I was wondering if anyone can say how long the nausea usually lasts. Is it a temporary side effect, or am I going to have to learn to deal with this if I keep on the patch?
