> I've tried oral sellegiline a few times and had no beneficial response to it. Generally it made me feel highly strung and agitated but hardly touched my mood. I think it is a weak antidepressant at best.
Hmmm. Interesting. Why would oral selegiline not be as effective an antidepressant as the EMSAM patch? Have you tried the patch?I would agree with you that it's a weak antidepressant. My response to the patch was almost nothing. It's just that I seem to have gotten worse since being off it, so now I'm wondering if it was doing something, even if it was very minimal.
But just to clarify-- I've never had a good response to any antidepressant, so my response to EMSAM is not surprising. I probably wouldn't make a good poster girl for success with antidepressants. I'm not one of the smiling people in the Wellbutrin and Cymbalta commercials.
