Scott,
Thank you for again giving me so much useful information. You have a very special mind (even if it is mushy!).
I'm sorry but I really can't answer the questions you asked (i.e. NMDA receptor pathways and actions). I would have to research the answers and I'm unfortunately too bogged down with other stuff to do this. I have to admit that sometimes when I mention things to you in a post, for example 'glutamate toxicity', I see it as a bit like fishing for information, because I hope the responses I get back from you will contain information on the subject I hadn't known before, and so often that is what ends up happenning, you educating me. Thanks again.
My approach lately is to determine if a drug has any potential to help me and if it is safe and tolerable for a short term trial. I don't go much beyond that now as far as research. Now that it seems that selegiline at a low dose has had such a positve effect, I will research the drug further, epecially relating to its long term health effects and drug interactions.
I've been feeling great the last 4 days. My energy, mood and cognition are better than an average person's! In repsonse to this blessed event, first I need to carve an idol- from the hip bone of a snake- in the image of that mercurial god of drug reactions, then bow before it and pray for continued response! Secondly, I need to find out why I am feeling so good. I'm taking the amisulpride with selegiline (and no reboxetine) but also lately I've been taking .5 or 1mg of klono. in the evening to improve sleep quality and have been taking memantine during the day. It shouldn't take too long to sort this out.
By the way, I responded to Naph. for about 3 days before receptor tolerance occurred. The effect if gave me was about the same effect I felt with reboxetine.
