i’m on the 9 mg emsam patch, started at 6 mg about 6 weeks ago. haven’t had any super significant effects yet, wondering how vigilant i need to be about keeping the patch fully stuck. if i exercise vigorously or am out in the sun (esp if the patch isn’t covered by clothing), sweat accumulates under the patch and while it doesn’t fall off, it’s definitely not stuck as closely to my skin as it is if i’m more sedentary. i have had good luck keeping it from moving around by covering it with a piece of tegederm bandage, but wondering if i’m not absorbing the medicine as well as i could be or otherwise inhibiting its effects by getting so sweaty.

exercising and being outdoors are big parts of how i keep it together but i can alter my routine if needed. just wanted to see if there were any recommendations here first. thanks y’all.
