Nardil works well for these mabye parnate will?I believe atypical is its claim to fame,i found them both to be quite different,as i did also liquid deprenyl,but i could not have been on nardil long enough,or perhaps theres something to the whole OLD-NEW nardil issues,i do not differances from glaxcos parnate to that of goldshield.
Then again many find the two,parnate and nardil the same,so go figure im just glad they are still options,both of them.

Don't know whether that's true or not -- he said he read it in a journal somewhere -- but it's an interesting data point.
