I guess I should identify myself as 'Selegilene Judy' since there are two Judy's here now.Not funny - it's happening to a lot of people - the flu shot you got in October didn't immunize you against the flu bug that's knocking everyone on their butts right now - they didn't see this one coming, I guess.
I know how you feel...like you're never going to have energy again. But you will.
My two cents on otc meds. Eliz's suggestion of Phernagen is a good one, but if you can't drag yourself to your PCP for a script, plain old Robitussen (not the DM kind - no dextromethorphan with MAOI's)can be used with a MAOI - active incredient is Guaifenesin). They make cough drops too. Having been on MAOI's so many times, I keep an industrial size bottle of it on hand at all times. Seems to work well with Selegiline - I found I slept better when I took it for a cold a week or so ago. Can't remember if you said you were taking Ibuprofen, but that seemed to work well for me for the aches and pains.
Sorry for the disjointed thoughts. I'm supposed to be weaning off Selegiline and haven't had the courage to do it yet even though I seem to have lost most of the benefits it was providing. I had just refilled my perscription when I got the dictum to stop taking it so I have some 'stall time'. Just can't bear another trial and error yet.
Feel better. Judy
