Adam,
It is my impreesion that longterm use of selegiline, the drug you take, has a neuroprotective effect on neurons with dopaminergic activity (at least at low doses), and, thus, a person using selegiline in proper doses may protect themselves from the gradual die off of neurons with dopaminergic actiivity and the associated drop in dopamine levels that is normally seen with aging. If Wellbutrin is indeed neurotoxic to dopaminergic neurons (and I've never heard this), it may be prudent to supplement with low dose selegiline.
