Glad to hear selegiline is helping!I had it working once with this combo:
60 mg Selegiline
300 mg Manerix
4 mg Reboxetine
30 mg Remeron
4 mg Klonopin
150 mg LamictalFelt like I had dopamine shooting from my ears
at time. Libido jumped like crazy for 1 day, but
it pooped out. Would have humped a sign post if
no one was looking. I tried to back out any of the meds, but the
effect would wear off. It was a lot like
amphetamines, but it was very spotty. A few times
my pulse raced over 120 beats per second and I
was monitoring my bp. Had to chug some Inderal
(bp medicine) to stop the madness.What dose of Selegiline do you take?
I found 5 mg too weak. 60 mg or bust.
And needed augmentation with that.Wellbutrin like all ADs has a 33% chance of failure.

> Jason very well said. I myself have taken effexor, Wellbutrin & every other antidepressant available tricyclics worked ok but were way overboard on side effect to the point that I couldn't tolerate for long wellbutrin seemed not much more than caffiene too me by itself or in combo with effexor the effect wore off rather quickly & not haveing an addictive personallity I went in search of something else that would do the same or better than the previously mentioned combo but not wear off as that had done so quickly which brought me to Selegiline. It has made a tremendous difference for me especially augmented with Phenylalanine. SSRI's seemed to help initially butt robbed me of any desire to perform at work & stunted the emotions & drive very much. Selegiline for me has no side effects worth noting except more energy than I know what to do with at times.I do not recomend this for everybody as evrybody is different & reacts different.But may help a lot of anergic depressives out of there holes & get them back up & running again Also may help with social phobias
