The truth is that they go by trial and error according to drug class, and when you have a record of going through most of the drugs in a certain class you have to be given an alternative option and that includes off label uses for drugs like selegiline.

god forbid the day you forget it, or are in a situation where you don't have, or god forbid some of you ppl realize that maybe you don't need drugs and you need to deal with reality, the good the bad, the acceptance the rejection, all part of reality...doesn't anyone else get tired of being a fucking robot, programmed by drugs? THAT YOU CAN'T GET OFF OF????? NO, your the kind of ppl that pop a pill and watch a reality show because reality itself it's too real for you... maybe i sound harsh, but i am sorry, i can't even plant flowers, mow my lawn, go to the gym, on this effexor withdrawal...i want to live, AND I WILL.
