> How long did it take you to see results from the selegiline? I just started it about 10 days ago and haven't noticed anything. I'm taking 5 mg. once a day with DLPA but will bump it up next week - I was just waiting for the side effects (buzzy headache, slight nausea) to fade.
I didn't experience any side effects starting right at 10mg -- guess I got lucky! But I would definitely say you're on the right track bumping up the dose once you can tolerate the drug.
Just a few questions:
1. What brand of DLPA do you take?
1a. Is it capsules, tablets, or powder?
2. How do you take the selegiline and DLPA in regard to scheduling around meals? This is *very* important to success with this combination.
3. Do you take any vitamin supplements? Some are practically essential to allow DLPA to "do its thing" (e.g., vitamin C, vitamin B6 [its coenzymated form, pyridoxal-5-phosphate, aka P5P, is *vastly* preferable to the usual pyridoxine HCl]).If you can get back to me with this info, I may have some suggestions for you to really help get the most out of selegiline.
Oh, and to answer your original question, though the smoking-cessation effects were evident immediately, mental effects weren't noticeable to me until day eight. This was when I began to experiment with sublingual usage and made other adjustments.
Hope to hear from you soon,
