One more possibly difficult quesion for you lol...would selegiline, because it hits DA hard (you mentioned energy and huge libido) increase the chance for relapse of cocaine abuse?....sounds alot like a coke high to me...lets dance kind of energy and hitting on everything that moves. lol coke is a dopamine transporter inhibitor if i remember....huge surges of DA...mabye like selegiline?

> D/r...did you try augmenting the selegiline for a 5ht effect? Somepeople combine 5htp or bits of ssris with selegiline, if i remember discussions here.
> Also...did you find selegiline gave you "unbearable" energy levels...to the points of anxiety? this maoi, albeit a maoi, is "more acceptable" to many gps...for those interested in maois but can't get the classics (nardil & parnate).

> > the only directly i know of one MAOI interefernig with another is going -> phenelzine (and possibly other hydrazines, if it is the hydrazine strucutre that is doing the GABATi) because the MAO-produced metabolite of phenelzine is the GABATi. w/o the extant MAO, you don't get metabolite (or you have to wait around a lot longer for it to accumlate.) and in someone w/o MAO, TCP can act unopposed as a stimulant and cause the bp problems easily.
