> chemist,
> My main concern is that iam twenty-two and my sex drive and also overall vitality is way down. I have been off drugs for 3 years and have no intention of using selegiline to fill the void. Iam very happy to be sober and have been accomplishing many things. I just want to feel the way i should feel, and i know that i do not.
>
> If not selegiline, what do you recommend ?
>
> I would be using selegiline twice a week at 1 or 2 mg doses. Would i have to worry about the movement disorders at this dosage ? And also, Is this drug truly a nueroprotectant ? My thoughts are that if the drugs I used cause damage to certain areas of the brain, shouldnt these protectant properties be beneficial ?
>
> Another question.. If dopamine and other catecholamines are the catalyst in hormone sectetion, and my nuerotransmitter system is off, could this be causing endocrine problems ?
> Besides the libido, over the years my skin has become increasingly thin and dry, nothing helps.
> Iam thinking it could be due to insufficent testosterone and growth hormone. There are claims that selegiline has the ability to raise these hormones to normal levels. I know its not that simple, thats why i need some advice.
> Its hard to see through the propaganda on the internet, and that being the basis of my research makes figuring this out very overwhelming.
> Any suggestions of clarifications would be of much help. thankswhat is your gender, and have you seen a dermatologist to examine excema or perhaps some form of ichthyosis? let's get the full picture....it appears as if there are 2 issues that might be entirely orthogonal, and can be dealt with without adding fuel to the fire of the other...please inform, and also, have you had a cbc w/met panel recently? all the best, chemist
