If the author is accurate in his assays and conclusions, methylene-blue might be the best MAO inhibitor for me. I have had experience with a potent and selective MAO-A inhibitor named clorgyline. To date, clorgyline has been the most potent MAOI drug for me. Unfortunately, this former investigational drug is no longer available for human consumption.
