I think you can get near 100% MAO inhibition with the other potent MAOIs too. Correct me if I'm wrong.

However, the NIH stopped giving it to their patients because there were some fatalities involving cardiovascular function. I stopped taking clorgyline before that, though. My response was incomplete, and they wouldn't add a TCA to it.
