A newsbrief was realed by Reuters Oct. 18, stating that EMSAM (actually refers to it as transdermal selegiline, an MAOI-B, no mention of MAOI-A) is safe and effective. This was based on a pulication in the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry. It stresses that it much safer that oral MAOI's and only cites skin reactions and insomnia as adverse effects. I found this article on Medscape, which I subscribe to, as do many medical practitioners. It wasn't any new or novel information, but at least it was acknowledgement of the medication, reminded and ensuring doctors that it's OK to consider this option.
