In reply to Emsam itching, posted by JOP on September 10, 2006, at 17:23:24
Hi, I have had the itching thing too. I have sensitive skin with the odd mild itchy patch breakout from time to time and I found selegiline (ensam) made it worse. I used deprenyl sublingual. I was using it at low doses and dosing morning only. The whole idea of sustained release all day seems doomed to failure to me. It really lifted my moods, but not without anxiety. I had to manage it carefully and have days off or else it just accumulated and caused anxiety and insomnia. Good luck!
> I’ve been using Emsam (6mg) for the past 2 weeks. While I haven’t experienced any noticeable effect on my mood, I am experiencing an increase in itching all over my body, not just at the application site. I was wondering if anyone else has had the same side effect? I’m beginning to think it might be an allergic reaction to Selegiline, which is unfortunate as I was hoping Emsam would elevate my mood but now looks like I might have to discontinue using it.
