Do you think the transdermal delivery of selegiline confers a more potent antidepressant performance to the drug?
I tried the oral form, but only up to a dosage of 30mg. I found it to be without any effect, positive or negative. Historically, selegiline has not been considered very effective as an antidepressant. I am a bit disbelieving to here that it is so for so many treatment-resistant cases. But then again, look at Seroquel. It was first thought to be a crappy AP, but it is being used more and more with success, especially at higher dosages.
