> Doesn't deprenyl (selegiline) act like a regular MAOI except at low doses? Deprenyl has a "cachet" among life-extension and nootropic people and has been approved for Parkinson's: my guess is that some company is just willing to put the money into a deprenyl patch.

It is in your systems for days anyway.I was under the impression, by the liturature I have read, that Deprenyl effected the MAO-B dopamine system in low-dose(below 10 mg/day and both MAO-A & MAO-B in doses over 10 mg/day, but I may well be mistaken.
The Patch would bypass the gastric route and thereby allow traditional Nardil or Parnate into the bloodstream and brain, allowing users to consume a more normal diet containing Tyramine, which cannot be allowed with the pill form.I hope that one of the Pharm companies come out with one soon because I sure miss my Avacados :)
