Is Skin Patch Effective For Treatment Of Depression And Anxiety?
HOW EFFECTIVE IS PATCH FOR DEPRESSION, FATIGUE AND ANXIETY? I CANNOT TOLERATE ORAL ANTI DEPRESSANTS BECAUSE OF SIDE EFFECTS. WOULD PATCH HAVE SIMILAR SIDE EFFECTS CONSIDERING NOT GOING THROUGH INTESTINAL TRACT?

Hi dear,
Patch is similar to oral medication though there is less side effects as compared to oral medication.
but there are many newer anti depressant is there which has negligible side effects like SNRI (serotonin and nor epinephrine re up take inhibitor), SSRI (selective serotonin re up take inhibitor), NASA ( nor epinephrine and serotonin antagonist )etc.
so consult all this medication with your treating doctor .
on which medication you are and which side effects you have?
Thank you
