I haven't seen Adam here in a while, but he used to be a regular here all the time. He had success with Selegiline in treating his depression. If I recall correctly I believe his therapeutic dose was in the 20mg range? He originally had success in a clinical trial where he was given a selegiline patch. When the trial was over, he had no choice but to switch to oral selegiline. Last I heard he was still doing well with it.

It's not for everyone though. When I tried it, I felt almost immediate improvement, which then pooped out super fast, like within a couple days. Increasing the dose actually made me feel worse and also made me impotent as well. As with everything, mileage varies considerably from one person to the next.
