I read a few abstracts that hinted that selegiline might produce an increased release of evoked DA and NE release. Perhaps it would be helpful for ADHD and concentration as well. If not, I don't see why amphetamine could not be added to it. Many people have been taking Klonopin with Emsam and having great success for treating depression with social anxiety.

> I agree w/Scott. EMSAM i think could be very helpful. I've been on the 9mg. patch for over 2 months now and i feel pretty darn good. Not depressed, more energy, less anxiety and pro-social (which i am really enjoying because i have some social anxiety probs). Anyway, i think it would definitely be worth trying. Oh yea, the only side effect i have is early morning wakening..but, i still get 6-7 hrs. of sleep a nite. Good Luck.
