I know there is a lot of history on this site about a selegiline/prozac combo, but I don't think I've had the answer I'm looking for.
I'm taking 40 mg prozac, and my pdoc has pushed me up to 15 mg of selegiline, which seems to be helping, but I'm not out of the woods yet. I'd like to push my selegiline dose up even higher to prevent depression relapse.
Of course, at higher doses than 10 mg, I've read that selegiline may act on the same MAO (A?) that prozac does; my question is: despite the risk of serotonin syndrome, isn't it possible that having both drugs work on the same MAO will be helpful in my fight against depression?
Along with the selegiline I'm also taking 1500 mg tryptophan (which my pdoc prescribed); the idea being to push up my serotonin levels since the prozac "pooped out" on me.
I'd be grateful for a response from anybody who has any theories on this question.
