Hi Marsha.
> > It has been a week since I took my last dose of mifepristone. I don't feel any better now than I did before the treatment. Damn.
> I'm so sorry, Scott. Will you try the EMSAM patch when it comes out?
I guess I'm not that attracted to EmSam because I didn't respond to oral selegiline 30mg 15 years ago. I currently take Parnate 80mg and have been as high as 150mg. I guess I am guilty as anyone else here of characterizing drugs based upon a simplistic use of what little data there are on them. I can't see what selegiline would do that Parnate would not. I won't cross EmSam off my list, but there may be things I would like to try first. I do remember, however, Dennis Murphy, MD, telling me that selegiline would be worth another try because I did respond to clorgyline. Both drugs are propargyl derivatives. It is very disconcerting that there are so few things in psychopharmacology that are well understood or that one can count on except that these drugs usually produce undesirable side effects.
