In reply to selegiline, anxious, how to calm down?, posted by mogger on November 1, 2005, at 13:49:14
I'm glad the selegiline is still working for your sister. Selegiline causes tension and anxiety in a lot of people- me included. The transdermal patch, Emsam, is supposed to cause much less of this sort of side effect.
I have used Holy Basil and Kava Kava to counteract the Selegiline tension/anxiety. They work fairly well without making me tired.
Does your sister also have insomnia? Or is it mostly just to much nervous energy?

> Selegiline has been a fantastic drug for my sister but she has a lot of nervous energy from the medication. She is always on the go and finds it difficult to calm down. Just wondering if anyone has had this problem and it went away over time or had a technique how to calm down. She is at 40mg a day, a dose needed to keep her depression at bay. Any suggestions?
