Link, you seem to know a bit bout this, so if you get a chance maybe you can answer this..
What would happen if you did combined MAO B + COMT inhibitor + DAT inhibtor?
So that would be like a EMSAM/ Selegiline , green tea , ritalin combo to avoid?What are the odds that having the val/val variant of the COMt gene could lead to atypical depressive symptoms ( hypersomnia, low motivation, hard to concentrate, social avoidance, passivity, etc) . These all seem kind of like traits of having low dopamine?
Anyway, my interest here is that last winter I took low dose selegiline 5mg + 500 mg phenylalanine and it quickly boosted me out of a bad depression and worked really well for awhile... also during this time, it was cold and was drinking a few cups of tea ( possible COMT inhibition). About the time it started to warm up , quit drinking tea regularly, kept taking Seleg + Phenylalanine, but the effect started fading out and not working... think the tea could have made the difference??
Thanks for the input
