Last night was probably the best nights sleep I've had in some time . Less dreaming and woke up feeling rested.
Side effects remain to be void for me. Unless something changes, side effects won't be a reason for me to discontinue.
Though benefits are not profound at this point, I do notice suttle differences, slight increase in energy, not as fatigued in the late afternoon as before, I'm getting more done at work, concentration is improving, I seem a little more outgoing, appetite is slightly lower.
There is definately no swings, ups or downs. It's seems consistent thoughout the day. I assume it's the steady stream of selegiline delivery via the patch.
From what I've read some start to see benefits as early as 7 days. It will be interesting to see where I go from here as I put the patch on for the 5th day.
All said, so far best start to any med I've tried. Though certainly to soon to come to any conclusions, I think theres reason to be optimistic about EMSAM being an option, particularly for other treatment resistent individuals like me. We'll see.
