> low dose of selegiline - doc may say 'sure no problem' if she's got lots of pensioners, or freak out at ssri+maoi combo
Just revisited d/r's earlier post and started researching selegiline. Looks like it's easily and cheaply available online. 5-10mg would be a "low dose", wouldn't it?
I'm rethinking SSRI's at the moment as I'm terrified of exarcerbating my issues with fine motor control in my jaw. As an alternative, I wonder if 5HTP would work OK in tandem with selegiline?
Presumably there's no risk of serotonin syndrome because a) 5HTP wouldn't prevent reuptake into the synapse and b) selegiline only inhibits MAO-B.
Just another thought about what may have caused the movement disorder: could it have been caused by supersensitive D2 receptors from the successive AD's I've been taking? ie. could it be over-sensitivity to dopamine rather than dopamine depletion?
