> i imagine it would be much like Parnate at higher doses, and almost certainly more like Parnate than Nardil, for what it's worth.as an alternative to selegiline, you might want to try the MAO-b inhibitor Agilect (rasagiline) when it comes out later this year in the U.S.(it has just recently been approved in the EU). It is similar to selegiline but without the amphetamine-metabolites, thus, possibly causing less side effects.
