Low dose selegiline WON'T cure your depression for those of us whose problems are related to something other than serotonin deficiency. SSRI non-responders (who aren't bipolar) are probably deficient elsewhere. We all know that MAOI's are the most effective way to keep those neurotranmitters flowing through our brains. But they come with potentially life-threatening side-effects. MAO-B selective selegiline is part of the magic duo that can cure us depressed people! It's selegiline (Jumex/Eledepryl) with Phenylalanine (PEA-pre) that does the trick. The selegiline opens the door to higher levels of dopamine and PEA (which is rapidly absorbed by MAO) and your brain won't be forced to counteract the new "correct" balance by changing this and that because of the MAO inhibition. Selegiline+Phenylalanine for depression people!!!!! PEA- makes you feel good ~~~ Smoking (which lowers your MAO-B by 40% and therefore increases dopamine at the synapse) makes you feel good. Selegline+PEA is the answer but no one will listen. Not even the top pdocs in the nation. It's all because of money and greed and publicity folks... it's up to us to decide what's good for us and what we should put in our bodies. Do your research first!!!! Don't get caught up in the latest SSRI fads. Sure some people feel good on those meds. So will people WITHOUT depression. Plus side-effects are a bitch. The truth is out there and it's up to us (the sufferers) to find our cures, and thanks to Psycho-Babble our job has been made much easier for us. For those people whose problem is serotonin, there are SSRI's (unfortunately for them ~ side-effects). But for those who are thinkning they suffer from depression/anxiety or something else.. I'd say see a pdoc first.. but then come back to us for further advise before going on what could potentially be a long and miserable journey through the wide world of meds (most of which are crap in one way or another). -Jason911
