Hi Julee,
Maybe you've found the info you need, but in case not, I'll tell you about my experience with EMSAM (Transdermal selegeline). Overall, it has a very good anti-depressive effect for me, but it took about six weeks to fully kick in. That's longer than other meds I've used. But for me, the side-effect profile is better than others. Effexor made me lose too much weight (I'm skinny already) and killed my libido. Wellbutrin made me cranky and agitated and made my hair fall out. Not something I'm willing to live with. The things I think may be related to EMSAM are slightly increased acne and mild GI distress, but I can live with both. I feel really good on this medication.
Hope that's helpful.
Blossom
