Interesting post on this topic. Am currently trying to get my psych doc to prescribe the selegiline for me (low-dose to use in this specific combination). Any problems with agitation or increased anxiety with this mix? I have (currently) lower grade background anxiety that is being handled by Xanax XR. If this combo works good for the depression and lack of motivation and unhappiness then I hope to wean off of Xanax and replace with SJW or picamilon or whatever.

It needs to be taken on an empty stomach approx. 30 before ingestion of food, it needs to be taken with Vitamin C-500mgs, B6 50-100 mgs and you need to drink some sweet grape juice or something-sugar is required to assist the DLPA to pass the blood brain barrier. ( you might want to take the smallest dose possible because DLPA can by itself induce anxiety) L-theanine is very good for anti-anxiety. You might want to research it on Google.com
