>Did you stick strictly to the MAOI diet on Selegiline in pill form? I wonder why the patch makes you tired but the pill doesn't. Very interesting.
There are a few plants with MAOI's you can extract from it. Syrian Rue you can grow yourself. The downside to it is there is no time release technology, you can feel it after 20 minutes, then it slowly tapers off in 4-6 hours. Getting the dose right is another serious problem. It's usefulness as an antidepressant / antianxiety medicine is greater then any pills I've tried.
