"Safinamide is a reversible and selective monoamine oxidase B inhibitor, reducing degradation of dopamine, and a glutamate release inhibitor. ... It also seems to inhibit dopamine reuptake. ... Additionally, safinamide blocks sodium and calcium channels." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safinamide Many of us have taken rasagiline and selegiline which are also selective MAO-B inhibitors. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monoami...dase_inhibitor John
