There is a transdermal product called Emsam which is used to treat depression.
See https://www.drugs.com/emsam.html
You say the person cannot swallow pills. What about liquids? Many antidepressants come in liquid form.
Thanks. Liquds are a problem but no as bad as pills. How can I find the ones that come in liquid form? Paulas330
Here are some examples of antidepressants that have liquid forms available:
Celexa (citalopram)
Lexapro (escitalopram)
Prozac (fluoxetine)
Paxil (paroxetine)
Zoloft (sertraline)
You can check on the Drugs@FDA website to see what dosage forms are available for each drug.
