Ron-
It's funny you should ask. I remember reading your post from a couple of days ago about your update on NADH on how you were experienced a little tolerance at the 10mg dose and that it tends to give you a little irritability by the end of the day. Ditto.
I'm back down to 5mg myself after about a week at 10mg. It ended up making me feel really irritable and also tired during some parts of the day. 5mg is an acceptale lift for me at this point, although it's nowhere as good as the first day I tried it. Sometimes I add 500mg of tyrosine, which gives me an added lift as well. But this can also get me a little too excited.
God I miss those cigarettes. There's nothing like the smooth administration it gives you throughout the day. Maybe I should try the patch and see if it gives me anything similar to the NADH.
On a similar note, I just ordered sublingual selegiline. Last time I tried Selegiline was a couple of years ago and I didn't really have a great response to it (made me irritable and overly-excited). I'm hoping I can give it a fairer shot this time by starting low and waiting it out a little longer. I'm also hoping the sublingual version will cause less side effects.
Maybe it will be a good replacement for smoking afterall, since there's been some good research lately that says it's fairly useful. Not really getting my hopes up though. Perhaps the patch form will be better in the end, but that looks like a year or two off.Still avoiding the eventual Nardil trial until I've exploited the rest of my options. My fear is that most MAO-A inihbitors are going to make me into a zombie. In the end, this might just be my saving grace though. This anhedonia is really getting to me.
I've enjoyed all the chatter on the board about the anhedonia issue though. It seems there's a lot more anhedonic/atypicals out there than I thought. Think we should keep the ideas coming and try and help each other out.
Stay in touch,
HK
