Andrew: I'm on Selegiline (10 mg day) and Neurontin (400 mg 3x day). I tried going down to 5 mg on the Selegiline, no go. It dipped my mood too much and energy level. Thought about going to 5 and augmenting with an amphetamine--tried dexedrine (2.5 mg) with 5 mg Selegiline--too many hyperventilating types of symptoms plus heart arryhhmia. I too have the anxiety, agitation or fear side effects. My question to you is two fold. Have you tried a beta-blocker like pinodlol for the anxiety side effects? Also have you augment Selegiline successfully with amphetamine? I am seeing a pdoc and under his care with respect to combining drugs but curious about your opinion.
