In reply to Selegiline - where to get?, posted by Cindylou on September 14, 2001, at 15:37:18
No, selegiline has been around for a while. The guy who headed the team who first synthesized it called it deprenyl, and the brand names its sold under in the U.S. are Eldepryl and Carbex. The online European pharmacies I've browsed sell it branded as Jumex.
It's used most often in conjuction with levodopa therapy to treat Parkinson's disease, so maybe that's why your pdoc doesn't know much about it.
You probably know all of this...and of course I still haven't answered your question. I can say that I don't know why it would be any harder to find than levodopa.
I've been curious about selegiline, too, ever since I read an interview about it with its creator in _The Psychopharmacologists III: Interviews with David Healy_. I don't have the book with me right now, though, and I don't remember his name...
But anyway, good luck. I hope someone else can give you more definitive information on where to get it.
