> these same syptoms occured once I escalated my dose of adderall, in the past. Even after long-term cessation of adderall, I still get hyperkinesia. Could this be related to selegeline?
I really don't know.
Selegiline is metabolized into L-amphetamine and L-methamphetamine. Their biological activities at therapeutic dosages are considered to be weak, though. Nonetheless, you might be sensitive to amphetamines and/or their effects on catecholamines.
I have no idea what the course of these side effects are. I don't know whether or not they disappear with continued use.
Hopefully, someone here will have more insight into your reaction to theses drugs. It almost sounds as if your dopamine receptors are too sensitive.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
