In reply to Selegiline (l-deprenyl) made me SLEEPY!.., posted by Amigan on January 12, 2008, at 12:27:40
> Hi. I challenge you to explain this:
>
> I obtained some selegiline in form of pills and i tried 2.5mg today for the first time. After a while my eyes felt kinda swollen and i was starting to feel drowsy. After 2 hours i was in bed sleeping! I was pretty much alerted before i took the (half) pill and i had slept well last night. I am almost certain that the drowsiness was caused by it.
> When i woke up, i took another 2.5mg and i still feel the same.
>
> Now, why EVERYONE experiences insomnia, anxiety and agitation with selegiline, while i experience exactly the opposite?
> I haven't tried a real stimulant in my life, thus tolerance isn't the issue. I'm a bit disappointed by it, as i was expecting to act like a mild stimulant judging from the testimonies i've read.Now I remember taking 5 and then 10mg oral l-deprenyl, for quite a while (months), not even realizing I should be taking any dietary/medication cautions.
My experience was absolutely nothing. It was like I was taking a sugar pill. I was taking this without a prescription (I know, bad bad me), but it was brand name Eldepryl from a reputable source. No anxiety, stimulation, improvement of depression. Weird. And then I have a massive response to Nardil. Shows you the MAOIs are all quite different.
