Pulse, sorry this didn't work out for you even at the low doses. All the MAOI's definitely build up gradually in your system, that definitely was my experience with Nardil, no side effects whatsoever for 38 days (28 at 45 mg, 10 at 60) then boom hit like a ton of bricks and not with anything good. But I think the patch may actually make this building up problem even worse, obviously a lot more research needs to be done. My eye problems are finally starting to improve, my eye doctor (not the idiot who wanted to do surgery for dry eyes, another one) said I had a dermatitis on my eyelids, he said it could well be a reaction to the Emsam, though the idiot doctor who was ready to operate, sight unseen, said that Selegiline didn't cause dry eyes, should actually help them! For any one else who gets the same problem, TobraDex ointment on the eyelids (and/or getting the poisonous Emsam out of my system), was what finally helped, my eyes are still sore and itchy but improved. This sounds trivial but it was EXTREMELY painful, and of course the Emsam insomnia didn't exactly help the situation. Cecilia
