I was prescribed seligiline. i have major depression, tbi and multiple sclerosis, is this drug commonly prescribed for any of the above illnesses?

Confusing: Selegiline is a drug normally used in parkinson's disease, and not usually employed in patients with your diagnoses, but wonder if you have some involvement of basal ganglia connections for either the tbi, ms, or side effects from anti-depressants, and your doc wanted to control the complications. Might discuss further, as hard for me to assess based on your complexities.

For depression maybe: One form of selegiline (emsam patch) is approved by us fda for treating depression. There's a very small amount of research on it in tbi and less in ms, so it would not be viewed as "commonly prescribed" for those conditions. It's always wise to ask a prescriber what is being targeted with any given medication, along with potential side effects to watch for, and how long to see benefits.
