For over a year I've taken
Nardil 60mg + Provigil 50-75 + Klonopin 2.5-3.0Higher doses than 100 taken reguarly tend to make me wired too much, insomnia, aggressive, etc.
I tolerate the above well. I sleep an hour less though, and libido is increased (a good side effect).
With Eldepryl, I was thinking in my last post of low dose 5-10mg as base dose. I recall that Parkinson's patients were shown in one study to tolerate Provigil well for daytime sedation, although I don't recall what Parkinson's meds Provigil were added to.

> One reason I'm curious (besides wanting to see Tim experience the most consisitent benefit) is that, even though my current combo (Klonopin+Provigil+Serzone) works so well for my social phobia, I miss the memory-enhancing effect I seemed to get from Eldepryl/Deprenyl/selegiline. Since taking even a tiny dose with Klonopin added back some anxiety for me, I would try a super-tiny dose. From what I've read, a little bit of selegiline can have some potent and long-lasting effects.
