But the SSRI's in my mind are the last resort because of the sexual dysfunction (like being unable to get it up or ejaculate or whatever) and some people are affected even after they've stopped for months!! Scary. If that happened to me I'd probably commit suicide!! Life without sex or intimate relationships with women would simply destroy me and I picture Prozac, Zoloft, and especially Paxil my path to death or dispair. I want to try this first. I'm thinking the Klonopin will help me with any anxiety or agitation symptoms and lower my inhibition or whatever. Most important to me, people on the selegiline/klonopin combo have reported being even TOO sexually stimulated. I'm far from that now and would like to give that a try first. What do you think in response to this. I really appreciate everybody's advice. It shows you some people really do care about others and for that I am very grateful. Please give me any more advice that comes to mind. God bless -Jason911 (HELP!) p.s. The second study done by Youdom and Co. from my original post is actually in the manufacturer's insert of deprenyl!!! I've read other studies done a John Hopkins University that comfirm some of the ideas I've made regarding selegiline.

> You seem very intellgent and informed. I think jumping to deprenyl and phenylalanine now is a bit premature. You still have yet to try more traditional medications such as the TCAs and SSRIs. The TCA and SSRI are good medications and should be given a trial before going on to more experimental meds.

> You have done alot of research on the net and here in psychobabble. I would ask you to keep this in mind when reading material from these sources 1. You can find a study to support any hypothesis if you look hard enough .... I could probable find a study that states aspirin causes headaches .... the study would be from a foreign country, very poorly designed, probable supported by someone selling a product that competed with aspirin, etc. BOTTOM LINE alot of internet material is inaccurate! 2. Researching here at psychobabble is good if you have failed traditional therapy ... most of us here are failures of tradition meds and are trying newer and sometime experimental meds. So we are not the most accurate source either.
