I'm being troubled by low blood pressure too and my Dr. is out of town. I was already on hypertension medicine so it's confusing.
I feel bad and weak on the oral now..possibly going back to Emsam, probably.
I asked him about ADD before and that I had some symptoms like short attention span: didn't seem to believe it. I'd love to try Adderall though.
> It seems to get more confusing all the time about those equivalencies. Maybe it's like comparing apples and oranges, as the saying goes. If Emsam cuts out the amphetamine aspect that oral selegeline has, maybe it's not even really the same drug anymore (?) I definately believe I "felt" the oral stronger, I wonder if that has to do with the amphetamine involved. However, I have discovered a "magic combo"- Emsam with tiny amount of adderall. This is definately working better than either the oral or the Emsam alone! (Or maybe it's working like a much larger dose of the oral?) It's a new development for me: I had been using small amount of ritalin to raise my very low blood pressure, and that was ok. One of my doctor's colleagues consulted with my case, and voiced his clinical observation that a lot of people do really well with Emsam plus adderall- that the two appear to work synergistically. So I was switched fairly recently, and it works! Amazing! So now it's Emsam 9 plus 5 mg adderall, twice a day.
