In reply to TRY SELEGILINE!! (Jumex), posted by Jason911 on February 24, 2002, at 19:11:32
The vast majority of people with depression
will require a 60 mg/day dose of selegiline
for depressive relief. This is documented in
the clinical studies. Also there is the default
2-4 week lag time to feel a solid consistent
relief from the MAOI inhibition. You need to follow the strict
MAOI tyramine diet at those levels.Results at 5 mg/day may be very atypical and
fall well outside the bell shaped curve, but you
could give it a shot.I am bipolar II and have sympoms similar to Lula.
My personal thought is that Lula may want to investigate
mood stabilizer augmentation to an antidepressant
to remove the excessive dopamine craving consistent
with hypomanic behavior. But I am not a trained
physician, I am just speaking from personal experience.
Wellbutrin is an excellent AD medicine that the
psychiatrists like for bipolars with ADD like sympoms
and it goes well with mood stabilizers.Anyways, I hope Lula can use the interesting posts
put forth hear on pbabble to help take the right measures
to improve the quality of her life.Regards,
John
