In reply to Re: Is the Emsam patch more effective than SSRIs?, posted by Willful on December 4, 2012, at 10:13:56
I am on day 25 of Selegiline Oral. I started 7.5mg for around 19 days and 6 days raised to 10mg. I'm normally sensitive to meds but I have not felt much from it aside from mild hypotension which is eased with ginkgo biloba.I been taking it along with low dose ritalin,+ valium for severe melancholic depression.
my symptoms are lack of emotions, inability to enjoy things, poor drive/motivation, difficulty thinking, poor memory, low energy, apathy.
I also take Royal Jelly 3000mg a day + around 420mg gingko biloba (helps a bit for memory).
Anxiety is not an issue for me. All the melancholic depressive issues are.
SSRIs tend to numb me out, and make me feel even more intellectually + emotionally compromised than I already am.
Is there hope for me with Selegiline? I been considering raising the dose. I still feel extremely bland most of the time. Mind feels very closed off and I'm very non social too.
At what dose does Selegiline start to function for Seratonin? I do feel I need a seratonin component to my mix but I tried too many SSRIs (paxil worked but pooped out) and almost all made me feel worse. I've tried endles meds and Gabapentin makes me feel slightly alive but it's effect never lasts. Gabapentin works on Seratonin + gluta.
Need advice or possible alternatives. Even herbal/suppliments...
