> I thought they were the same MAOI's. See I know nothing about them. So what is the difference in the patch ingredients? Love Phillipa
*The Patch* EMSAM is an MAOI, it's just a different drug,(just like prozac and zoloft are different drugs, but both ssri's) it's different than Nardil and Parnate, but it is still in the MAOI class of drugs. Of course it's delivered via a patch on your skin, instead of taken by mouth as in pills. Experts believe because it doesn't go into the gut, there will be less side effects and less chance of a hypertensive crisis. The patch should have a much less restrictd diet than the other maoi's. :}Tyler
