If you're talking about taking the oral form of Selegiline as well, then yes, that would increase the over all dosage of the medication.
Keep in mind, the Emsam patch at 6mg requires no diet restriction. However, the patch has a higher dosage of Selegiline that then you think. I believe (don't quote me) it has around 20mgs of selegiline in it. So, adding an oral dosage would thus increase it even more (obviously) and possibly put you in the catagory of having to follow the diet restriction.
That said, I have been on Emsam now for almost 2 months. 6mgs for 4 weeks, and 3 weeks now on 9mgs. I have followed the diet pretty well, but have taken in parmesan cheese in small dosages. I have yet to have any reactions. I do notice that drinking caffeine will cause a rise in heart rate for a small time.
