> 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.
There is no consensus on the board, but it may be that the blood level produced by the 6mg/24hr-20mg Emsam patch is equivalent to that achieved with an oral dose of 40mg.
It would be interesting to know whether or not selegiline itself possesses any psychostimulant properties such as DA or NE release or uptake inhibition.
