> It's true, I too hear selegeline (ie, Emsam) is only a modest antidepressent. I wonder then why they chose it to be the one for patch development?

I believe that the reason that they chose it is that they knew it was absorbed well sublingually- people have used selegeline drops for parkinson's. I think that it's the same premise that led to the development of nitroglycerine patches (since it works well sublingually) and oral contraceptives/ HRT- since hormonal creams have also been effective. That's my take on it anyway.
