It looks like an interesting drug, but it carries more risks than other nootropics, so for those interested i found a couple good websites:

Thanks for that information. Great links!

Ahh no problem, it's an interesting nootropic, but i notice that a couple people have taken it and reported negative effects, since i imagine it has gradual effects (through the build up of Dopamine) in addition to immediate effects , for those that don't see instaneous side effects it would be best to know what products/herbs/foods to avoid as to reduce the risk of complications (as it probably won't help the pursuit of anti aging), knowledge is power lol.

Deprenyl is the most proven antiaging drug we have.

Deprenyl is the most proven antiaging drug we have.

I've seen a couple research articles saying that... but the only thing i wonder about is if taken outside a laboratory setting, without careful diet examination, it wouldn't end up shortening life. Perhaps at the dosages it speaks of [0.5 mg (20 years old) + .5 mg every decade if i'm not mistaken], it might not create too many interactions till later. If you look at the amounts of foods and herbs you have to end up avoiding, who is to say you're not missing out on a combination that will illicit greater anti-aging qualities but require more creativity. There are too many uncertainties and too many variables for me, personally, to consider it anything but nootropic. I know my words are empty without research, but just a whisper lol.
