Hi Cecilia
>WHEN will this poison leave my system?
Selegiline (Emsam) is an irreversible monoamine oxidase inhibitor ie. the effects of the drug will persist until new MAO enzymes are synthesized to replace the MAO enzymes which have been permanently inactivated by selegiline. New MAO enzymes are continually being made by the body........but it can take up to 2 weeks after stopping an irreversible MAOI before MAO levels get back to normal. The side effects WILL disappear, but you will probably have to stick it out for a few more days :(
Regards
Ed
