I too am utterly confused. My doctor just attended an "EMSAM conference" with other psychiatrists and researchers from the drug company. Part of the info that came out of this is that there is mass confusion about what the doses mean! Also that the 6 is considered too low of a dose to help many, many people. I am moving up from the 6 to the 9- which I hear is far more potent than the 6. The 9, per doctor's report of what the company reps explained, is roughly 60-90mg oral selegeline. That sounds like a lot! I don't get it.
> > One thing I find confusing about the EMSAM literature is the dosing specs. On my box it says, "20mg (6mg/24 hours)." Does that mean that each patch contains 20mg of selegiline, but only 6mg of that total gets metabolized by one's system in a 24-hour period?
