Hi jemma,
thanks , what you said was very helpful.
Mark> Since starting this med at 10 mg, I've learned three things:
>
> 1 - take with food. The presence of food in the stomach augments the selegiline by a factor of up to 10. That is, there is ten times more selegiline in your system with food.
>
> 2 - works very well with modafinil for add.
>
> 3 - for depression, augment with a small amount of dl-phenylalanine. My pills are 500 mg, and after experimenting, I found the best dose to be 60, or 1/8. This is not only very cheap, it is also the amount used successfully in various trials for dl-phen + selegiline as an ad. But you have to take the dl-phen on an empty stomach, as it competes with other amino acids.

> This is working very well for me, both for ADD and depression. And it's neuroprotective, which means its helping my brain, not hurting it.
