Well today marks two weeks on Emsam 20mg for me. For the first time in years I'm waking up and practically jumping out of bed, ready to go for a jog around the neighborhood and face the day to come. Have cut out caffeine entirely -- I just don't need my morning coffee anymore.
Could I really be seeing such a profound improvement in such a short period of time, at this low a dose? I mean, obviously I'm seeing a great improvement, but at this point is it more likely that the drug is doing its intended job, or that the L-amphetamine and L-methamphetamine metabolites are giving me a little "kick"? I know the metabolites are formed in much smaller amounts when selegiline is administered transdermally as opposed to orally, and while I had a response to a combination of oral selegiline 10mg and DL-phenylalanine a while back, it wasn't anywhere near this good.
Thoughts, anyone?
Cheers,
Michael
