> 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.

"Great to hear of your success-hoping it lasts:)the drug is doing its intended job, or that the L-amphetamine and L-methamphetamine metabolites are giving me a little "kick"
Excuse my ignorance, but wouldn't Dextroamphetamine, or Dextromethamphetamine tabs give a 'little kick' to your day?
You were on 4, 15mg Dex Spans+40mgs Desoxyn? daily a few months ago?
Let us know ok:)-good health
Cheers
