Hey Ron,
To offset my apathy and lethargy, I tried wellbutrin and ritalin before selegiline. They gave me lots of energy and motivation for about 2 to 3 days, then I would crash. I felt "strung" out ... even less energy, anorexic, irritable. Selegiline and other MAOIs have been different then stimulants/wellbutrin, despite both being highly dopaminergic. The apathy and lethergy have subsided and there has been no crash thus far.
Have a great weekend!

PS I was perplexed by this. I noted my sleep was terrible too, having horrible vivid dreams. With the selegiline (and other MAOIs) the dreams (REM sleep) are gone/reduced. I review REM sleep and wellbutrin/stimulants and found that they increase REM sleep!
