I have been taking Selegiline for several months now. I am particularly sensitive to meds so I started on a micro dose of just 1.25 and have increasing the dosage in micro increments and am now on 15mg. It still makes me sleepy so I only take it in the evening and at night. But I was wondering if I go up to a therapeutic dosage of say 20mg will it become more activating? I wonder if anyone else has found this. I will be going up to 17.5 next month and then finally 20mg.
I am actually grateful that it helps me sleep at night as there was hardly anything that worked for my insomnia other than gabapentin. I can not tolerate most sleep meds and in fact they often have paradoxical effect for me.
anyway.. I am hoping that I will be less sleepy during the day but also be able to sleep at night... finding the right balance and cocktail is really challenging for someone like me
anyone else have any suggestions?
