In reply to selegiline and anxiety, posted by Garnet71 on February 8, 2009, at 21:12:05
Hi Garnet,
Well I have anxiety problems too but have heard in some cases MAOI's can be beneficial (see amongst others 'RemedyFind' or www.askapatient.com). Some people there claim it has a profound anti-anxiety effect. However, there's also others who say MAOI are stimulating and could make you nervous/anxious... Maybe it depends on the dose and time of titrating upwards?
Last week I embarked on Eldepryl (Selegine), but I'm only taking a minute amount to avoid side effects. My current dose is 1.25 mg/2 days. Side effects like dry mouth are already present, so I won't move up until they subside. Anxiety hasn't reared it's ugly head (yet).
Hope this info is of use to you.
My best,
Maria> It is ok to take selegiline if you have severe anxiety?
