Dear X_ander,
The brand I have now is Cognitive Nutrition.
They caution/discourage people about combining the PEA with selegiline. If you don't combine it with selegiline or some of the other things people "out there" have found you have to regularly take massive amounts of PEA for it to work. They sell more!
That being said, I'm glad that you're aware of the dangers if you're not VERY careful with the doses/times. Many people have problems with it and quickly give up. It worked SOOOO well for me that I decided to experiment to find a safe and effective dose/time.
I'm 200 pounds (may've already posted this) and 45 years old. My latest regimen is 1/4 of a 5 mg selegiline tablet (1/3 MAX) every 2 or 3 hours, and 100+/- mg of the PEA taken every hour or so. You'll know when to take more. If you're forgetful, write down what you take and when. A couple of times I forgot and took a dose too soon and it was scary.
I stop an hour or so before bedtime. Stopping sooner makes me too tired to be useful here, and I have a Wife and 4 kids.
I also try not to start taking the regimen daily until I have things to do. Once you start, you have to keep taking it or the fatigue sets in. Besides, it seems like there's still a positive effect the next day.
I have my life back again and have NO desire for alcohol or pot anymore either. This is one weird and wonderful combo.
One last note - Cognitive Nutritions lowest dose the last time I ordered was 250 mg. It's a pain to pour out 1/4 of a capsule. Good price though. There are other sources that sell lower and easier to use doses.
Good luck and best wishes X_ander.
