The transdermal Selegiline patch being tested now for depression does not require the MAOI diet. Just don't eat the patch!
> Yes, selegiline was helpful to me, but at doses of 50 mg. divided or 24 hours, which is ten times the dose typically given to parkinson's patients. There are some side effects and an MAOI diet must be adhered to at any dose above 20 mg./day. It is the only AD I am willing to revisit if needed.
