I have really no classification to my depression and my pdoc hasn't told me anything about my classification either. I would have to say I'm atypical to say the least. And the fact that I don't respond to amphetamines is really odd I think too, (regarding Adderall - no response at even 50mg at once). But, on the other hand, Ritalin did have a major impact on me when I took a single dose from my sisters med supply. It made me quite hyper and I would couldn't keep still and I acted like a frickin ADHD prototype. So, anyway, I was thining that the Jumex would help with my depression along with the Klonopin to increase my catacholamine activity as well as PEA for a good mood brightener. Low-dose only though. Like eventually 5mg every other day or so with supplementaion of the precurser to PEA, phenylalanine. It should at least releave the mental fog caused by the Klonopin. My anxiety is gone with it and I feel so much better now that THAT has been taken care of. I don't think my depression has anything to do with serotonin. In the past I'd take up to 900mg/day on the 5-HTP and didn't experience hardly anything. My symptoms are low-motivation, anxiety (which is now fixed with the Klonopoin), lack of desire, etc. But I don't feel sad or suicidal or anything. And so therefore the SSRI's are out of the question, I don't want any of those pesky sexual side-effects, especially at 17. MAO-B inhibition just might do it for me. Like I said before people have posted saying that the Klonopin+low-dose selegiline cured their depression and anxiety and that they seemed to benefit from eachother. Increased motivation, sex-drive, anxiety gone, and feeling awesome! I hope that this would work for me. What meds would you suggest for me other than the plan that I have come up with, which really won't be put to the test until my Jumex arrives in 2.5 weeks. -Jason911
