Cecelia-
My girlfriend is transitioning to selegiline from another MAOI. Basically, the plan is to get her on EmSam. We think that she can come up on selegiline slowly using the oral form and the swap over to the patch once it becomes available. Seems most doctors don't know much or are afraid of MAOIs, so not much direction on this matter seems available for us.
Anyone out there know if this is a viable solution to titrating up to the doses provided by the patch?
Also, selegiline seems pretty easy to titrate up on. It's going up relatively fast and smooth. Hope the same pans out for you.
