Do you think they may have ripped me off, maybe given me some in-active pills? Would it be better to maybe swap to another brand like Eldepryl? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

> I don't think you've taken it long enough. Selegiline is like Nardil in that you have to take it for a weeks before you notice anti-depressive effects. Also, I know Selegiline is prescribed in doses like around 5-15mg for Parkinson's Disease. From what I remember reading, it's also effective for Depression but you have to take it in much higher doses.Not 100% certain about this, but I believe that effective doses for depression are (I think) typically at least 40mg?
