Hey: I went to my local pharmacy and asked the pharmacist whether she could look up "Deprenyl" and print out some info on it; however, it's not listed as a medication that is currently available.
So can you tell me where you get it? I've got an appointment with my p-doc this Monday and I'm going to mention it to him. But it definitely doesn't help me if getting the actual drug is not possible legally.

Seems to me that confidence is confidence and we're really splitting hairs if both drugs are confidence boosters then whatever self confidence you develop as a result will help improve your interactions with practically everyone.
