Hi SadSuzie!
Hope you at least aren't any sadder than usual...

http://www.selegiline.com/depplus.html is a page linked to the one you mentioned. It describes treating depression with
"1-deprenyl (5-10 mg daily) plus 1-phenylalanine (250 mg/day)"
with a supposed mechanism of action
"based on the accumulation of 1-phenylethylamine in the brain."
Since phenylalanine is being used instead of phenylethylamine ( PEA ), it seems like the idea is the former helps generate, or is converted into, the latter. Anyone know any details of the relationship between the two?
Are either phenylalanine or PEA available to consumers like thee and me? Maybe in some sort of legal OTC 'dietary supplement'?
peace and health,
S.D.
