Yes. I read that many people agree with you, although SP is one of the indications for this drug along with depression. (While it's not for selegiline)
> Also its supposed to be somewhat activating but it knocked me out after every dose once I hit 450mg.
Hmm.. You must be idiosyncratic with this drug. It is generally considered non-sedating.
> I haven't tried selegiline but its definitely said to be activating.Yes but, the same have been said for moclobemide.. I guess only someone who has tried both meds, can inform us for sure..

I should try to make him prescribe me clonazepam then.
