> I am aware of the same distinction, and it is b&w - its a totally different animal. Its downright freaky how the brain can just stop firing. Ever see that movie Awakenings? - its like that, albeit nowhere near as severe. But its hard not to identify with the condition they presented, in a small way.

Low dose selegiline (with phenylalanine supplements) did nothing for me either. As I had a good response to Nardil (but eventually leading to intractable insomnia), I'm hoping that the higher dose provided by Emsam might have a more positive effect.
Good luck!
