chemist,
My main concern is that iam twenty-two and my sex drive and also overall vitality is way down. I have been off drugs for 3 years and have no intention of using selegiline to fill the void. Iam very happy to be sober and have been accomplishing many things. I just want to feel the way i should feel, and i know that i do not.If not selegiline, what do you recommend ?
I would be using selegiline twice a week at 1 or 2 mg doses. Would i have to worry about the movement disorders at this dosage ? And also, Is this drug truly a nueroprotectant ? My thoughts are that if the drugs I used cause damage to certain areas of the brain, shouldnt these protectant properties be beneficial ?
Another question.. If dopamine and other catecholamines are the catalyst in hormone sectetion, and my nuerotransmitter system is off, could this be causing endocrine problems ?
Besides the libido, over the years my skin has become increasingly thin and dry, nothing helps.
Iam thinking it could be due to insufficent testosterone and growth hormone. There are claims that selegiline has the ability to raise these hormones to normal levels. I know its not that simple, thats why i need some advice.
Its hard to see through the propaganda on the internet, and that being the basis of my research makes figuring this out very overwhelming.
Any suggestions of clarifications would be of much help. thanks
