Thank you, Chemist, for that information.
You mentioned that you guessed I was having a problem with titration. Actually, I haven't even begun anything with this med. I think my doc is trying to avoid the dietary issues.
He apparently has had success with this pharmacist compounding testosterone into a cream for other patients of his, and I guess the pharmacist said that he could do the same with seligiline...makes me worried, though, because how can this guy know for sure that this would work?
And then there is my insurance company, which apparently has it's OWN compounding pharmacy. They may not pay for this unless they cannot compound it themselves, and yet, if they CAN, I don't imagine that they will be paying attention to the vehicle through which it is delivered. They are sure to go with the cheapest thing possible.Well, you have given me some food for thought. I might just go ahead and take the plunge with pills I swallow rather than messing around with this.
If I DO go with the compound, I will surely keep the board posted, because if it works, it might be a help to Americans waiting around for the selig. patch.
Best to you,
Diane
