> Just a few questions:

> 1. What brand of DLPA do you take?
> 1a. Is it capsules, tablets, or powder?
> 2. How do you take the selegiline and DLPA in regard to scheduling around meals? This is *very* important to success with this combination.
> 3. Do you take any vitamin supplements? Some are practically essential to allow DLPA to "do its thing" (e.g., vitamin C, vitamin B6 [its coenzymated form, pyridoxal-5-phosphate, aka P5P, is *vastly* preferable to the usual pyridoxine HCl]).

> If you can get back to me with this info, I may have some suggestions for you to really help get the most out of selegiline.1. DLPA is from The Vitamin Shoppe
1a. It's a capsule2. I take the DLPA on an empty stomach when I wake up 30 minutes before breakfast. I take the selegiline (a 5 mg. generic capsule from APO) with breakfast to aid absorption.
3. I take a B-Complex with Vitamin C caplet with my DLPA. B6 is supposed to work better if you take it with the other B vitamins. But I may need to bump up the B6 dosage (it's currently 5 mg) and I will go for a P5P supplement.
I've read all your suggestions about supplementation and taking the selegiline sublingually and swallowing the DLPA powder but if you have any others, I'd appreciate it.
I'm trying this combo to treat my dysthymia/anhedonia (putting off Parnate if I can) and also have a history of MDD (though not currently) and Social Phobia.
Thanks for all your help!
