This is very interesting in light of my experience with Emsam (transdermal Selegiline- an MAOI)...the 9 mg patch. I am a 54 old male and have been on Emsam for almost 2 years. I returned to college in spring of '08 after over 30 years of stressful life in a management job. In my early 20's I attended college and was an OK 2.85 GPA student. Now my GPA is over 3.5 and am taking more difficult courses. A's in easier courses. I got a B in Anatomy & Physiology 1 this past fall semester with a teacher who is quite difficult.
The upshot of all this is that I believe that Emsam (Selegiline) is a potent brain stimulant to an older person like myself.
By the way my recent experience with Gabapentin is that it really slowed my brain down. I'm going off it.
