Is is merely due to the "potential" for selegeline to shift to MAO-A inhibition and there fore the dreaded serotonin syndrome? I'd think if selegeline was in fact less selective (and affordable at that range) than it would be more effective.

Yess before i got it i dug into the archives and found out the liquid for whatever reason,sublingual,or the citric base or whatever was considered waaaaayyyyy more effective.I can tell you it was definatly potent,and had it not been so EXPENSIVE for such a small amount i could have seen it being a valuable medication if i allowed myself to take more of it,which i couldent cause the bottle is smaller than an index finger.
I have read numerous threads,know a friend personaly,who swear the tabs dont do much at all.Personaly id either try the liquid,or hold out for the patch,youll even notice how much easier the tabs are to get,as opposed to the liquid,sources many of them that carry tabs do not carry liquid.
