In reply to EMSEM 5 MG WORKS ??!?!?, posted by Larc on August 18, 2007, at 9:39:26
Well, Emsam has the same stuff as Deprenyl - Selegiline - so combining them is just additive, although transdermal + oral would be complex.
However I just thought I'd add that Selegiline is only a MAO-B inhibitor at the 5mg dosage. If you're looking for MAO-A inhibition (e.g. more energy) you have to take a lot more, like more than 15mg or so, per day. I'm no professional and my mileage always seems different to everyone else's, but I take Selegiline at 10mg a day (for depression), but with addition of 500mg Moclobemide (Manerix, a selective MAO-A inhibitor, not generally available in the US), for anxiety. I *believe* this is roughly equivalent to just taking Nardil by itself.
Again, I'm no expert, but if I could only get the 5mg patches I'd put more than one on me for depression, especially since as you note, there are patches containing a lot more Selegiline.
