>Selegiline worked (for a while) and I want to switch back to it (but poops out rather fast). Emsam worked for my depression but I was allergic to the dermal transfer technology and got awful poison ivy (well worse) rashes.......
Have you tried selegiline orally disintegrating tablets (Zelapar)?
Zelapar is only approved for use in Parkinson's disease but it may have other applications. With Zelapar, the selegiline is absorbed across the lining of the mouth. The idea is to reduce MAO inhibition in the gut and to reduce the formation of selegiline metabolites (which may cause adverse effects).
I have no idea what dose of Zelapar would be needed to exert an antidepressant effect. It would be useful to hear from someone who has tried it.
