> What does it feel like when MAOIs work? (and how long have they been working for you?)I've never taken selegiline, but I have had two trials with Parnate and have been on Nardil for over a decade. 10 days is not enough time for a MAOI to perform it's magic. I also have not read much about selegiline (oral or transdermal) working very well for severe depression. If you're going to be inhibiting MAO-A anyway, I would suggest Parnate or Nardil.
Good Luck,
