S. : I'm not taking Selegiline for its bedtime performance. I'm taking it because it is a selective MAO inhibitor, meaning I get the benefits of an MAO inhibitor without the dietary restrictions. Selegiline actually is a neuroprotective and neurorestorative agent. So I'm feeling lucky as long as I can stay on it. It extends the life of rats. It is not like cocaine, although it metabolizes into methamphetamine, the belief is that that is not its main mode of action. No doubt though that it is a puppy upper. Do a search on Medline if you want some info about it. It is a very interesting drug.
