In reply to Hey Lorraine can you tell me about selegine?, posted by Jill K. on March 3, 2002, at 17:10:55
Selegiline--we'll it's very prosexual and procognitive. It was really hard for me to give up--not because of withdrawal, because those two effects meant a lot to me. It's stimulating so you don't tend to gain weight on it. My problem was that AGGITATION got real bad. I was taking neurontin, but not klonopin. With enough klonopin, you could probably manage that side effect BUT it was not anti-depressant for me, just a very good stimulant.
There is some hope that they will come out with a patch which will be less aggitating.
I'm taking Provigil now, which is also aggitating, but does have some anti-depressant effects--which I need (can't tolerate normal ADs though). I'm on Klonopin and neurontin and I am trying to switch from the Klonopin to buspar (we'll see how it goes).
Good luck. Let us know what happens.
