> > I take 2.5 mg 2x day of Selegiline. It makes me shakey and anxious if I take more. I take Neurontin (300 3x day) and Adderral (7.5 mg 2 x day) as well. This combo is not truly satisfying so I'd be interested in the AD you are taking with the Selegiline. Selegiline increasing my cognitive functions (which have been impaired) and restores my sexual functioning as well. Good luck with it.

> Hi Lorraine. Selegiline was supposed to be my main antidepressant; I expected to keep increasing until I got to 40mg. My adjunct med is oxycontin (very controversial, on this board and in some psychiatric medical circles). I am feeling like I am going to need a new plan, because I don't believe that I am going to be able to tolerate the selegiline. And it is absolutely necessary to have an antidepressant with the oxycontin. I had been taking nardil for many years and may decide to go back on that. Am waiting from a return call from my doctor. Both yesterday and today have been really hard and I may end up going back in the hospital for the meds thing if I can't hang on. I had tried neurotin before (with nardil) and I was retaining so much fluid that I went off it.

Shelli:

Why don't you and I join a club called the "I am very very tired of trying medications" club. As for me, I have not tried Parnate, Nardil or Desipramine (or other TCAs). so I guess there's miles to go before I sleep. Time is such a precious commodity though, isn't it? My pdoc says a 5 day washout between Selegiline and Parnate. I'm trying neurofeedback now. If that fails, then I think I'll increase my Adderral and quit taking the selegiline for the 5 day washout.

Good luck to you. Lord knows you deserve it (don't we all?)
