I just stopped using it already! My autoimmune disorder flared up (just like it did on selegiline, which was so much better for me, by the way). I was doing great at first on 2 hrs. of the patch, had one LENs treatment, had my usual reaction where my ears begin to burn, and then get irritated, but this time they burned, and I became rageful. The next morning I was okay, but scared. My pdoc told me to wear it 6 hrs. from then on and I did, and in 2 days, by the next day I was nuts, crazy. I took it off Saturday, haven't put it back on since (it's mon morn.) I still feel cranky. I asked him, since it was so similar to my wellbutrin rageful feeling, what it could be raising the most, but he didn't know, but says it does increase norephinephrine or dopamine and says it was just too much of a good thing for me. I would love to find out what emsam and wellbutrin raise the most if possible, maybe then I could tell what was too much for me (I know a lot of people are irritable on wellbutrin, but I don't know why! I told my pdoc it was common and he told me, "No it isn't!") So I had a bad reaction to the 6mg patch 6hrs. a day, but a great reaction to taking the low dose selegiline pills (until it interfered with my autoimmune pain disorder). Anyway, hopefully that will help someone make some decisions! Our chemistries are different, but if we can go through something painful and help someone else, it's not for nothing!
