I too participated in a selegiline patch study (spring and summer of 2000). The patch worked wonders for me. The only negative was some increase anxiety that could have easily been handled with a low dose anti-anxiety med. However, since I was in a clinical trial I couldn't take any other medications.
Prior to the patch I'd tried just about every AD in the book. Nardil was the only one that worked for me. Unfortunately, it eventually "pooped out" and I couldn't handle the side effects of an increased dose.
If the patch is ever approved I believe it will be a life saver for many.
Hope this info is helpful.
