As far as I know, LDC is still metabolized into amphetamine, although at lower concentrations than the tablet form. You have a far greater chance of having an adverse reaction to ritalin (with Nardil) then you do with the very small amount of l-amphetamine metabolized from LDC.
I think you may run into other problems combining selegiline and nardil (independent of MAO-B inhibition) Plus, I think your reasoning for the combo may be wrong... If increasing dopamine levels is your goal, adding ritalin should have helped.
As far as your PEA (phenylethylamine) concern, it is true selegiline is related to PEA, but so are MANY drugs, including all of the amphetamines, wellbutrin, and effexor.. also, Nardil is metabolized into PEA.
Have you considered switching to Parnate?
