I went off EMSAM about a month ago because I didn't think it was working and it caused severe insomnia. But since then, I have really crashed. I mean, not to say that I was doing well on the drug, because I wasn't, but now I'm doing even worse. Really really bad, like every second is excrutiatingly unbearable.
Anyways, my psychiatrist suggested oral selegiline. He said it might not cause such severe insomnia. Also it's a hell of a lot cheaper, which was another issue I had with EMSAM ($50 copay).
If it was actually working, I think maybe I could try pushing up the dose. I was only using the 6mg patches.
Can anyone share any experiences with oral selegiline? Any thoughts at all would be appreciated.
