EMSAM will be approved (or not) by Feb 26th. My doc has been hired by the drug co. to write labeling info. He tells me they feel strongly it will be approved. Probably take a few more months to become available.
I'm anxious to try it. I asked my doc about taking oral selegiline now, but he said to wait. And if EMSAM is not approved he suggested Nardil would be a better choice than oral selegiline.
He claims that with the patch delivery not only are the side affects and food restrictions significantly reduced, but it works much better for both anxiety and depression. I've wonered why it the same drug would be so different with patch delivery vs oral, but that's what he says and what I have heard from others. We'll see.
