Phillipa, that's exactly what experienced today (association of transdermal MAOI w/ oral MAOI and hence no script). Unfortunately, I don't carry the FDA presentation with me, the GP was uncomfortable with prescribing EMSAM, since it was a new MAOI. Never mind the delivery mechanism, never mind the safety factor, never mind selegiline's marketing approval for a decade, never mind that the FDA indicated no MAOI diet required on the lowest dose, and the studies showing the order of magnitude difference between oral and transdermal as to the "pressor effect". I simply need to find someone who is informed, which Bristol presumably will want to do.
