Thanks for your input Liz. I have stopped taking selegiline, because I think it was actually making me worse. I think I might start taking DLPA, and am thinking of starting Mirapex.
> I'm sorry for your struggle. Unfortunately I can't help you with selegiline. However, maybe post as a new topic altogether and you might get more of a response. Also, have you tried Parnate or Nardil (although I hear the new Nardil is not that great)?

SSRI's make me apathetic; tricyclics leave me tired and aggravate my prostate. I tried Wellbutrin, but wound up being allergic to it. I have been doing research on psychopharmacology for years, and as the stuff I have self-medicated with in the past seems to work on the neurotransmitter Dopamine, I thought I'd give the MAO-B inhibitor Selegiline a try. I have been on it a week (5 mg/day) and have not noticed anything. Can anyone tell me if I need a higher dose? I know only 5-10mg is needed for Parkinson's patients--what is the effective dose range for co-morbid anxiety and depression?
