No, I haven't tried rasagiline. Like selegiline, rasagiline is a MAO-B inhibitor, but unlike selegiline, it's not metabolised into amphetamines.

No, inhibiting only MAO-B is probably not sufficient - it's also necessary to inhibit a considerable percentage of MAO-A. This can be done by using higher doses of selegiline or rasagiline. However, that means you will need to avoid foods and beverages that are MAOI-incompatible.
