> Selegiline is a wonderful drug. It is written up in Smart Drugs and Smart Drugs II (books avail. at Amazon.com or your local library). It is being using in Alzheimer's as a neuroprotective, neurorescue and possibly neurorestorative action. It significantly extended the life of rats (I don't know that that translates to humans tho). It is a puppy uppper and converts to amphetamine in the liver. You can take up to 15 mg a day without dietary restrictions. Above 15 mg it is a non-selective MAO with the "cheese effect" potential and dietary restrictions apply. I was put on it because I am treatment resistant and we are trying to find an MAO effect without the dietary restrictions. I started on 5 mg a day (2.5 2x day) and am now at 10 mg a day. I am taking it with Neurontin, which is an anticonvulsant and anti-anxiety drug. I really would like to see Selegiline work because I believe that the drug is actually good for you in addition to helping with depression. Good luck. Let me know how it goes.

One other thing.. How is the neurontin working to control the Stimulating feeling the sel produces? I am taking trazodone with it to help but I don't like trazodone much
