no, i KNOW they're thaaaat far off and for far too many reasons to take up space here, but here is one: i talked 3 times to one of somerset's head emsam researchers....& was outright lied to.
i know your dream is emsam, as was mine. i mentally and physically exhausted myself far more than should be required of ANYONE, JUST to tolerate this drug.
your posts are often not clear: as in, < a medication that's already in use. >
i will now mind-read & (be forced to) assume that you must mean oral selegiline, as emsam's only been in use for a very few people before april 15, 2006; then only by 2 - 4 days before. btw, i was one of these very few. for all others, as of today, that then would = approx. 2 months + 2 weeks.
re: oral selegiline, i have no personal experience, but from reading here and elsewhere, seems there are few for whom it works well. has many horrid SEs, and often requires very high dosing. of course, there are folks who are exceptions to this.
you're correct that - usually - those doing well would not be posting as much, here or anywhere; maybe not posting at all (pity!), but re: emsam all here have REALLY gone to the mat, and, again - the vast majority have still had little to no success, or are even getting worse.
i realize you're suffering, and looking for answers, but from the sheer number of your posts, i would suggest that therapy may well be your best bet. i know you have some privacy concerns, re: stigma, but if your records were even able to be accessed, therapy would be far less 'stigmatizing' than psych med/s. (not that any stigma should exist anywhere in 2006!, no matter what field anyone hopes to be in or is in.)
