Debra, Selegiline/Eldepryl/Jumex/Deprynl/and a few other names was touted as a neuroprotective drug, but it flunked in double blind studies. It is still pushed by some of the health foods, etc. people. One of the intermediary metabolites is an amphetamine aka Speed. The drug was developed in Communist Hungary and first tested by an Austrian neurologist who was working for the Gestapo/SS under Adolph Hitler. The drug is grossly over-priced based upon cost of production even with expiration of patent rights. The veterinary version Annipryl is cheaper. I've been taking two a day since 1991. I think it is a good drug and that it extends the effect and duration of Sinemet therapy. It is a worthwhile part of my PD therapy. Will Johnnston A.P.D.A.

At a support group I attended several people referred to bad experiences they had while taking it. I'm just curious as to whether some of my side effects are related to it. I can't seem to find much info on it , or at least much I can understand, so I decided to skip the medical journal stuff and go to the people who should know best. Thanks.
