Why does it seem that parnate and nardil are more widely prescribed than selegiline? It seems that selegiline has fewer side effects than both the others and its cheap. Maybe once the patch comes out for selegiline that could change. I'd like to hear more selegiline testimonials on this board.
thanks

it's seems even more complete as a mao-b inhibitor, and perhaps as much an antidepressant at non-selective dosages with a similar or even milder side effect profile... it doesn't have amphetamine metabolites which could be a plus.
its also said to possibly have a cholinergic effect that is not yet quite understood but is noted. this could become even more prominent at higher non-selective dosages, and be really helpful for those with cognitive complaints.
hmm...
