This is just a crap shoot question as i know my doc,and proubaly no docs would use both EMSAM and a standard MAOI.
However my thinking is this,latly a hot topic is high dose parnate,i wonder if using emsam which will A give you maoi effects through the day,the B adding parnate as well.
Could this help making both the maois more potent as well as helping bring down the higher doses being used with parnate and making a much lower dose work.
Im thinking of it kinda like wearing a nictone patch and using welbutrin,a double whammy.
Would the much lower parnate dose still interact with the what seems to be unique maio action of emsam.Just a thought.

right now i'm out of $$ to reorder parnate, so to make it stretch i'm taking a couple selegiline tabs (which i have gobs of) first thign in the morning, orally, then taking a smaller amount of parnate. mostly hoping the selegeline just binds to MAO in gut and brain gets basically teh same amount of parnate as before. so far it seems to be working

I think Parnate is A$4.60 a pack here.
