> I just looked it up. It is used for Parkinson's Disease when L'Dopa is not working in doses not to exceed l0mg. It doesn't appear to lead to hypertensive crisis and food restrictions aren't necessary. It called it an MAO B. What does that mean? It doesn't say a thing about it being used for depression. So this is another use of a drug meant for something else? Fondly, Phillipa
