> I would just call my insurance company and ask them if they will cover the selegiline. It would seem to me they would be much more likely to cover the generic pills than the very expensive brand name EMSAM. Are the selegiline pills still considered off label for depression?

>The pills haven't been approved for depression, even though that's what they first were used for; and they do work somewhat differently than the patch. But the pharmacist seemed to think that they would be considered equivalent. I think I could get them to cover 5-15 mg a day. Anything above that loses the MAO-B specificity anyway.
