I only take the generic form. There is some debate whether selegiline itself is as bioavailable as eldepryl. I personally have noticed that eldepryl did cause a slight bit more anxiety than the generic form. Otherwise unless you noticed no effect from the generic I would stick with it. The brand name is very expensive. I just ordered the discoverey liquid form from an overseas source in England. It is supposedly far superior in it's efficacy and side effect profile. We'll see! It took about 3wks. to work up to my current dose. I should warn you that selegiline is quite activating and may cause uncomfortable anxiety. Good luck with convincing your doc to prescribe it, most in my area have not heard of its use in psychiatric health. It took a couple of sessions for me to talk him into it. Hope this helps!Brandon
