Kara,
Thanks for your reply. As it turned out, my doc wasn't aware of selegiline helping depression in doses under 30 mg (the point where it can behave like an MAOI-A, which I don't want). And since I was 25 min. late to my half hour appointment, there wasn't any time for him to look it up. So I guess I'll wait until next month. So far, on the various psycho-babble posts and google searches, I've only found 1 link for a study of selegiline and depression (not including the patch, which I don't think is yet available).
Anyway, my doc took a totally different approach - he prescribed trazodone with the concept that if perhaps I stop waking up at 3am every night, then I will have more energy and my mood will increase. It worked last night - but that could have been the result of a gin & tonic and a few "medicinal" tokes...
