Well said Charlie! I can't understand why anyone would WANT or need to take liquid Deprenyl - the pills are so tiny and could be crushed anyway. Imagine if you took too much of the liquid deprenyl, you could be in real trouble, as you say. Admittedly there may be the advantage of having it in liquid form, so that swallowing is easier. I hope people are not confusing or comparing the benefits of Liquid Sinemet (made by crushing tablets, and sipped as needed-- recipes have been on this list previously) with liquid deprenyl. The two drugs are completely different and the liquid deprenyl would be taken once or twice daily, as the pill is, BUT NOT frequently, as liquid sinemet. Sorry if I am being too didactic - but like Charlie, I worry about these things!
