I owe my life to this drug-- i took it for depression. Oral tablets, before emsam got approved. Check first to see if Somerset Pharmaceuticals has a Patient Assistance program. And for the long-term, apply for medicaid if you can.

Please people, sometimes you guys just talk out of you know what. "probably won't work for depression"?? It works a lot better than the placebo effect from some atypical and SSRI combo.

I don't doubt that some people can crossover without a washout period. However, I would wait at least 10 days between the last dose of selegiline and the initiation of treatment with another MAOI. A washout period of two weeks is recommended by the manufacturer.
