Scott,
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on why I noticed a rapid response to oral selegiline when I took the medication. I do wonder what effect an amphetamine drug or other stimulant would have had on my vegetative depression back when the vegetative symptoms were the only symptoms that I was suffering from. I recall one Psycho-Babble member who had responses to SRIs and Nardil that were similar to mine saying that he was responding well to Dexedrine, but I don't know how he responded to the stimulant in the long run. I never did ask my psychiatrist at the time about attempting a trial with a stimulant, and I'd be hesitant to try a stimulant now because of the potential for it to worsen my psychotic symptoms. I also don't think that a stimulant would be necessary at this point in time because my vegetative depression has been mostly under control as of late. I seem to be experiencing a strangely refreshing long-term response to an anti-aging supplement that I took several days ago, so for the moment, I don't really need any extra stimulation.
