DK79,

I think that your plan to continue taking selegiline and to augment it with supplements makes sense. I do think that you ought to consider adding Effexor to your selegiline if your doctor deems the combination to be safe, but augmenting your selegiline with something like phenylalanine (or perhaps even phenylethylamine) might produce favorable results, too. I haven't tried taking phenylalanine in combination with selegiline, but I have taken both substances separately. For me, both selegiline and phenylalanine produced decent but short-lived results. I know that I've taken selegiline at least twice, and every time I've taken it, it's produced decent results for about three days before losing its effectiveness and leaving me feeling more agitated and cognitively impaired than usual. I forget if I took 5 mg or 10 mg of selegiline on the occasions when I tried it, but I never tried a dose higher than 10 mg. Anyway, I don't want to discourage you with my results of my trials with selegiline. Not everybody responds to medications in the same way, and I would say that sticking with selegiline and augmenting it would be a good approach for you to take, considering that it seems to have produced better results for you than any other medication that you've tried. I wish you luck with augmenting selegiline, and please feel free to utilize this board if you're looking for ideas and/or feedback.
