It is too bad they can't even sell it to me now, but it is reasonable that the transdermal selegiline system needs to be tested before it can be marketed. It has proven to be safe, and for some efficatious, so hopefully before long the patch will be available for purchase as an antidepressant. A couple years on the oral form doesn't bother me. I just want to be allowed to take it with coverage, since paying for it myself would really strain me financially.
Adam -I've never tried this place out, but I'm going to pass it along nonetheless. I came acorss it earlier this week while I was doing some research on selegiline. Here's the address:
http://www.drugplace.com/BrandNameGenericDrugs.htm
I don't know if the prices are up to date, but it was listing 60 5mg tablets of selegiline for $14. (works out to approx $0.30ish per tablet - didn't check into shipping charges, etc.)
They do, however request a prescription, or offer to call you doctor if you give them the number.
If you don't have a script, the best I could find was roughly $0.85 per tablet. (in the UK)
Like I said, I don't know anything about them... I'm sure there's a few bucks tacked on for shipping... don't know if there's a minimum order... It's not free, but cheaper than I found elsewhere... Don't know if that's of any use to you... but there it is.
