Hey, Annie,
I was wondering, what sort of side effects did you experience on
selegiline? I think I may be experiencing mild, um, difficulties.If that's all I get out of this, I'll be a dissappointed guy. I'll
try and hang in there, though. For the past couple months I've been
doing OK, if a bit anhedonic, and to have some real depressive symptoms
come back has been a frightening experience. One thing I hoped for
was this super-quick onset of antidepressant effect that the patch
system was supposed to deliver. If I'm on the drug, I'm not seeing it,
that's for damn sure. If I had to make a guess, this stuff might be
aggravating things. I wish I knew for sure.Ah, the joys of double-blinded clinical trials...the open label segment
is five weeks away. Yikes!> Hang in there Adam! I finished a patch study 8 days ago. I felt worse until week 5 or 6 and then it kicked in! I'm sorry the study is over. It was my first depression break in years.
