willyee,
I've been on Emsam for about 9 days and it's helped my depression. An issue for some people seems to be dose response and timing and your idea may be worth consideration. I wish there were more data on using the patch versus oral or under the tongue. And I'm wondering why a compounding pharmacy could not make a transdermal selegiline patch at the fraction of the cost that Squibb is charging.
Also, I have a new awareness now about how substances put on the skin are absorbed into the bloodstream. I have dry skin and use a lot of cheap grocery store lotion that contain mineral oil and a bunch of unrecognizable chemicals.
warm regards, Jake
