No doubt armies of chemists are clambering to come up with something as good as clorgyline but that will have the added, nonpharmacological property of lining someone's pockets for a couple of years. No wonder psychiatry is constantly reinventing the wheel- meanwhile, people are suffering from the suboptimal treatments that still have patents on them. I'm not happy about this.

This thread was interesting for me since I took selegiline several years ago. I was curious that the side effects might be less trandermally than when taken orally. I personally did have SE's that I did not care for. Yet at the same time it seemed to work for me somewhat sporadically.
The SE's were dizziness, confusion, just kind of feeling blurry? Also, I had some numbness and tingling in my feet and lower legs that kind of freaked me out. It was very long ago.
Well, thanks for letting me share.
