I think that the diabetes problems with MAOs would exist with Selegiline--I assume it has to do with the risk of a hypertensive crises because of the dietary restrictions. If so, you might try flying under the radar using less than 15 mg of Selegiline. I use 10 mg/day, but it did combat the depression, just energized me and helped my thinking and helped with orgasm. Then we added Neurontin--at 600/mg a day, it didn't do anything for my mood. When we upped it to 900 mg a day, an antidepressant effect kicked in (my pdoc had told me it would). The Selegiline gives me a side effect of agitation (eating my cuticles) and anxiety (more fearful than usual). To help combat these we upped the Neurontin to 1200 mg day. I have been playing with adding Mirapex to the mix. The results have been that at 1/2 of .125 mg I get sedated. Yesterday I decreased the Neurontin to 900 mg and added 1/2 of .125 mg--still too sedated. Today I'm going to do the same thing but with 1/4 of .125 Mirapex. The Mirapex takes away the edginess and aids sexual "arousal" if anesthesia has been a problem.
