> i am thinking about trying deprenyl and am wondering how others faired on this drug. thanks much!
In Dr. Bob's 'tips' section there are physician discussions of Deprenyl in depression. Might want to check it out. Apparently it can work, but it has all the same MAOI diet restrictions as Nardil or Parnate. While doses of 5mg or 10mg are common for parkinson's symptoms, antidpressant doses range from 15mg up to 80mg.
A regular contributor here--Adam--responded well to Deprenyl in a skinpatch form in a clinical trial. The trial's over and he is now taking it orally and so far still doing well. Hopefully he'll show up with some comments.
