The usual is 5 mg at breakfast, 5 mg at lunch. Some say that Eldepryl should not be taken much after noon if sleep is a problem. I personally find this strange since the medication has a very long half-life. The stuff is still measurable in significant amounts ten days after the most recent dose. ----------Will Johnnston A.P.D.A.
