No, sorry, I realized too late that my post might give folks the impression that you've now asked about.
It was just a coincidence that the lowest priced Emsam in my area happened to be at a compounding pharmacy. They did not compound my Emsam. The price there was still quite high at $427 for 30 of the lowest dose patches.
Perhaps it could be done with selegiline (?), but I did ask about compounding Wellbutrin, and the "active ingredient" i.e. (Wellbutrin itself) would still HAVE to remain - thus no help for the even more severe GI problems (than Emsam) that Wellbutrin causes me.
I would then have to assume compounding would not take away any of the bad side-effects that never diminish for some - like me- no matter what those particular side-effects are...if they are inherent to the med itself, and not from gelatin, binders. etc.
