> been testing this out. no problems at 2.5mg, no problems at 5mg. this is with 40-50mg of parnate, for a 200lb male.

> however, did feel a little too overdriven at 5mg, so likely would rather increase my parnate and take 0mg of selegiline than combine the two, although i may try even a lower dose for neuroprotection, 1.25mg daily. 5mg was definitely too much.Wow, you already did it! Probably no precautions (or permission) either! Men. If I did that I'd be dead.
So do you think wieght makes difference? 125lbs and 30mg Parnate did a number on me. I thought it had more to do with the interactions tho. I'm stickin with it, as pdoc added the antidote.
If your lookin for augmentation, I'd stick with Parnate and increase dose. My reaction to Parnate started on 11th day, and didnt stop till "Nifedipine". I'm feeling the Parnate again.
Oh, btw, You didn't feel any "benefit" to adding seleligine? I agree it'd be nice to have that protection and longer life, but I've read that the dose has to be low, there's a bell curve at which it can actually shorten your life span. I believe the studies were done with mice and another with dogs. Sorry I don't have the info. It was very low dose at any rate.
If you don't mind, how long have you been on Parnate, how many increases, is it losing its effect?
Hope to hear from you and good luck with those "trials"!
