Re: EMSAM/new MAOI patch question about when to st » RetiredYoung

In reply to EMSAM/new MAOI patch question about when to start, posted by RetiredYoung on March 6, 2006, at 9:38:33

A more aggressive strategy would be to start on oral selegiline up to 15mg/day (with food!) during the washout and then switch to the patch.

FWIW, I used to take 15mg/day sublingually or orally along with an SSRI and never had an interaction. The inhibition of brain MAO-A from the lowest dose of the patch is probably significantly greater than 20mg+ oral selegiline, though.
