In reply to selegiline dosage/initial response vs. true effect, posted by matt66 on March 7, 2003, at 11:55:22
The recommended standard dosing for segiline is 5mgs-10mgs/day, depending on the purpose for which you are taking it. Many peeps take it for its anti-aging/neuro-protective effect. The recommended maximum dose for this purpose is 5mgs/day.
For psychiatric purposes the recommended dose is 5 mgs 2 times per day (total of 10mgs). At this level of dosing the MAIO effect is specific for MAIOB. At levels higher than 10mgs/day it acts in a non-specific manner on both A and B.
I have been taking 10mgs/day of Segeline for several years with absolutley no side-effects.
Given the dose you say you are taking 50mgs, I am not surprised to hear about your side-effects!!! I am surprised that you are still alive!!!!!!
THE FIRST THING YOU SHOULD DO IS GET YOURSELF A PDOC THAT KNOWS WHAT HE/SHE IS DOING BEFORE YOUR CURRENT PHYSICIAN KILLS YOU !!!!!!!!!!!
