> Well actually, I will Deprenyl from Europe. I'm not even going to try to ask my doc. The tyramine effect doesn't take effect with Selegilene until atleast 15-20 mg a day or more. Below 15mg Selegilene is selective for MAO-B only. Anyways, I'll find out soon.
Ah, MAO-B rather than MAO-A, so it's not really a RIMA rather than an MAOI at low dose.
You appear to have done some research and are well set on this course of action. Please be careful. I would start at the lowest possible dose and gradually work up from there in small increments. It would also be wise to always have on hand during the trial period the antidote to tyramine crisis (I cannot recall what drug it is right now) just in case your dosage rises into the MAOI regime (remember this could concievably vary from person to person).
