Has anyone tried Selegiline for depression or anhedonia? I'm at my wits end and I really need to know.

Hi Cheryl,
Yes I've just completed a week of low dose selegine. I only took 1.25 mg per day, sublingually. Some say it works faster that way than swollowing the tablet...
I noticed improved sleep - deeper and longer - but also with a nightmare like structure. Also got severe pain in neck and shoulders plus also irritating dry eyes...
Can't really say it did anything for depression, but then maybe my trial run was too short.
Why don't you try Parnate? Many posters on this board speak highly of it.
Best wishes,
Maria> Has anyone tried Selegiline for depression or anhedonia? I'm at my wits end and I really need to know.

I've used it, up to 15mg sublingually...somewhat good for anhedonia, increased libido, a bit more aggressive, no side effects. didn't do much to reduce negative affect, especially crying, so i moved on.

Thanks for the input - I'm mainly looking for something to rid me of the debilitating anhedinia that has plagued me for many years now. Parnate has taken care of the depression but the anhedonia is just as bad.
