Re: Emsam site reactions - any specific treatment available?

[Nom dePlume]

TT, I was cruising by and happened to notice your post. I've taken oral
selegiline for years (10 mg daily) and not had to worry about my diet. As
you increase the dosage, you do need to be concerned about tyramine
reactions, but my dose is below that threshold, so that hasn't been an issue
for me.

I hope this helps. Feel free to email me with questions, as I don't come
here often these days (no time...)
