Three days ago, I started taking 10 mg daily oral selegiline (jumex brand). I am also taking 500 mg DLPA in the morning. The first day I took it at night... noticed mild stimulant effect. Next day I took it in the morning. VERY irritable, very tired... I was thinking that because I took it at night it messed up my sleep and that always makes me irritable and tired.
Well anyway, I'm on day 3, still taking 10mg / day and 500 mg dlpa. No amazing effects so far but I'm going to stick it out and see how it is. Maybe I'll feel more of the stimulant effects a few days from now. I also want to take tryptophan, since 500 mg of tryp in the morning and at night does wonders for my mood and chillin me out. Is there any possibility of MAO-A inhibition at 10 mg? I've read that it's nothing to worry about, so I should be able to combine it with tryptophan, right?
Today I've had a good night's sleep and I definitely feel a mild stimulant effect, but it's hard to tell since DLPA has stimulant effects on it's own.
If this doesn't work I'm gonna switch to reboxetine or wellbutrin/bupropion if I can find a cheap internet supplier or maybe rasagiline.

I'll be very interested in your trial.
I have read conflicting info on taking Dlpa with selegiline. Have you decided that it is safe? I woinder about this and some of the amino with Emsam. I have cautiously tried tyrosine with no problem.
Best of luck to you.

Somewhere around my 6 month mark with EMSAM, I decided for some reason to see if my focus was increased any with the addition of DLPA. I should note that I was already quite pleased with the resolution to my anhedonia that had resulted from EMSAM. Within a few days of starting the DLPA however, it became very obvious that I was no longer receiving any of the previously enjoyed benefits of using EMSAM. It was as if I wasn't even wearing the patch anymore. Obviously I stopped the DLPA as soon as I realized this and things returned to normal within a few days. For me, DLPA would only be useful if I wanted to completely block the effects of that $17 / day patch that I've become so fond of.

I'm not in the selegiline, but my reactions to DLPA have been similar. Maybe give L-tyrosine a whack before the SNRIs. On the recommendation of KayeBaby, I've been taking .5-1g/day. I'm incredibly happy with it so far.
The DLPA was great for one day- I was stimulated, but felt like the endorphins rather than dopamine, very opiate like (though cleaner). After that, even after just a few days, it wrecked my sleep, made me anxious, irritable and tired through the day. I felt some ups and downs, yet it must've been still around if it was screwing with my sleep like that?
