> Did you mention you have cut a patch in half? I was thinking about trying this just to ease my anxiety by starting low versus full 6mg patch.
Yes, I have been cutting the patch for several days. I cut it right down the middle. I contacted one of the reaserchers in the initial EMSAM study and asked his advise. Though the packaging says differently he said there would be no issues with cutting it, in fact that's what they did with test animals. Selegiline would not leak out and it would be an even distribution of medicine. I haven't had any issues since doing it and seem's I'm still getting the congnitive improvement I like. It very well might be a good way for others to start EMSAM, then work up to higher doses. Good luck.
