Ezekiel - I don't have experience with both forms, or even much personal experience with the form I'm taking, but I did research other people's opinions pretty heavily and the gist of what I got about liquid vs. pill was that it pretty much depends on the individual. Some people strongly preferred the liquid, but a few said the pill form was definitely more effective for them. Since you've got the pills, just make sure to always take them with a meal that's got a decent amount of fat in it because that increases bioavailability by a factor of 3 - 4 times, a huge difference for getting your money's worth. For motivational/antidepressant purposes (the same reason I'm taking the stuff) you might want to take some phenylalanine or tyrosine (NOT tyramine) with it, or maybe a Mucuna pruriens extract. That's just educated speculation on my part, however, and a big thing to keep in mind on this forum seems to be: "Your mileage may vary".
Something to keep an eye out for: the first week or so that I was taking the liquid, I felt a pretty strong urge to do some serious napping around 1pm-2pm daily. I indulged (I'm in the tropics where a lot of people do that anyway) and it felt incredibly refreshing and by the second week I had "recharged the batteries" enough that I didn't feel like napping any more. Maybe the deprenyl allowed my body to demand the rest it needed? Or maybe it wasn't related to the deprenyl at all, but if the same thing happens to you, give it a week or two before deciding that it's the exact opposite of motivational.
Good luck buddy! I'll post here when I start the Mucuna pruriens extract and have a better personal feel of how well it works for amotivational depression. You be sure to let us know how the pill form works out for you, yea?
Related questions: Anybody have personal experience with L-phenylalanine vs. the racemic DL form (DLPA)? I've read the opinions of many people who swear that only the L form by itself works, but just as many who swear that DLPA is far more effective for our purposes. And what about skipping the phenylalanine and going straight to the L-tyrosine? Or both? Thoughts anyone?
