I can't comment on a drugs performance unless I have taken it. Though I venture to guess from what I have seen, that is can be a very stimulating drug.
*See the below link*. (see the box in the center) It lists the comparitive affinities of a few different MAO inhibitors for MAO-A and MAO-B. (Note the lower numbers mean higher affinities)
Both nardil and parante (phenelzine, tranylcypromine) have approximately equal affinities for MAO-A, and MAO-B. Emsam (Deprenly) however shows *significant* selectivity for MAO-B.
