i am a treatment resistant, atypical depression guy. most of the time i am sleepy and bored. i am on adderall (20mg, 3x per day) because it keeps me awake which enables me to stay employed. at first, the adderall was mood elevating. now it makes me feel flat and dull. i've read on this board that people have had a good response to selegeline (eldepryl). i have a few questions:
1) is there a rebound effect with selegeline, as there is with stimulants?
2) how long before it starts to work?
3) what drugs can, or can't, be combined with selegeline?
4) taken orally, what dosages are people finding to be effective? how long does it take to build to that dose?
5) before starting on selegeline, do you have to be off all meds for 2 weeks, as with other MAOI's?
anything else about your selegeline experiences would be greatly appreciated. thanks for your help in advance.
