> 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.
well i started with a low dose, along side an ssri, but ssris are nothing but negative for me.
> 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).
no. i don't really have too much problem with physical energy, more just motivation/'drive' type thing. i mean even when depressed i still have my adhd fidgeting. i'd say a good rule is -> more acceptable to GP=less effective.
> 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?
well i've never used coke, but since it isn't going to hit you like BAM, its mostly going to [sidebar: my theory of stimulant 'addiction' vs therapeutic use is focused a lot on speed of onset, so whether you get conditioning to the idea of reward being related to drug related things like seeing white lines, or whether you get conditioned to think of rewarding things in life that are normally mildly rewarding but for some people just not rewarding enough, like doing homework or cleaning the aparment, is largly dependent on how fast the stimulant works] make you interested in life, and not need to go skiing.
