Hey Delcan,
To be very reductionistic ... I have though of nardil as affecting serotonin, dopamine, GABA, PEA and norepinephrine (I know there is alot more that we don't know, and using this logic is too simplistic). So to cover all my bases in recreating nardil I am using ....
Selegiline for dopamine and PEA
Klonopin for GABA
zoloft and lithium for serotonin
coffee for norepinephrineI do notice some sleeping difficulties with 10mgs of selegiline. I am testing out some theories ... no one will tell me, "Hey Smith, your acting anxious/hypomanic/depressed today". I don't really feel my own thoughs about my moods are total accurate. So I am trying to discover objective markers of "normal mood". I think sleep is a good marker ... if I take to much selegiline and can't sleep I am probably in a mild mixed/anxious/hypomanic state. If I am sleeping too much, I am probably depressed.
This sounds crazy but ... I think music is a good indicator of mood. I listen to heavy metal when hypomanic and dysphoric (need to up the klonopin or lithium). I listen to nothing when I am depressed. I listen to contempory soft rock when euthymic.
Too much information .. sorry!
Smith
