Deprenyl has a long effect, since it shuts down the MAOs for several days or up to a week. For some people, that may be all they need. I tried deprenyl liquid a few times at just one drop (1mg) and up to 3 drops. Each time it had an immediate effect of boosted energy and lifting of mood, but turned into irritibility by day 2 and a strange foul body odor so I stopped each time. But, the effects of it went on for about 4 days before wearing off.
Since its effects do last such a long time, some life extension sites suggest taking tiny doses just once or twice a week for overall brain and health longevity.
Not sure how different ensam would be since it is deprenyl absorbed in the skin rather than the gut. At my low dose it was just a MAO B inhibitor with no action on MAO A, but I'm not sure how that works with ensam. In any case, the MAO B from any dose of ensam I suspect would mirror deprenyl's long effect of shutting down MAO action.
