Has anyone tried a low dosage (10 mg?) of selegiline used in combination with DLPA (phenylalanine) or PEA (phenylethylanine, not that I know where one would get it)? I have read this combination suggested in a couple places and I'm quite curious about it, especially since it doesn't require a special diet.
Also, what have peoples experiences with mirtazipine been? I have read that it makes you sleepy. I already feel fairly fatigued most of the time, so that doesn't sound all that great, but I've tried just about everything else, except most of the TCAs or any of the MAOIs.thanks

Definitely try mirtazapine before you try some combination of a parkinson's drug and a non FDA-regulated drug. Here is the shpiel for mirtazapine (Remeron):
--It can be used for all types of depression, anxiety, OCD, and insomnia.
--It is convienient because it is taken only once at bedtime.
--It may improve libido and sexual performance (its the only medication that improves mine). Dr. Bob Hsieung's fellow doctors recommend it for sexual dysfunction.
--You can take Remeron with most antidepressants except MAOIs.
--It has none of the anticholinergic effects of SSRIs.
--It has gained recognition as a very useful medication from psychiatrists in only four years of FDA approval.I myself started Remeron at 60 mg right away and had no side-effects. I had no weight gain or sedation during the day.

selegiline used in combination with DLPA (phenylalanine)...
I tried it - seemed to make me sleep really long - sedated/tired a lot (more than usual, and I have a problem with that to begin with). Of course, it could have the opposite effect on you...
Good luck,michael
