Thus far nardil has provided me the best relief, but the 30lbs weight gain, insomnia and sexual dysfunction were hard to tolerate. I have tried to recreate nardil with zoloft (serotonin), klonopin (GABA), wellbutrin (Norepi/Dopamine) and low dose lithium (augmentor) with some sucess.

Hi,
I've also been interested in using low dose selegiline (5-10 mg.) along with DLPA plus something to take care of my anxiety. I'd prefer not to get started on long-term benzo usage. I'd rather use an SSRI or low dose of a sedating TCA (am currently on 25 mg. of doxepin) or Remeron in conjunction with the selegiline + DLPA. I know of one Babbler who takes 60 mg. of Remeron along with s + D and does very well on it. I didn't know that many with Parkinsons are treated with low dose selegiline along wtih an SSRI. Now I feel better about trying that combo. (Theoretically I figured it was probably safe but was still just a bit scared of combining them.)K
