I think it will be important to have patience when trying different treatments. It is the nature of the beast that antidepressants take a minimum of 2-4 weeks to produce an improvement. It is sometimes counterproductive to watch for daily or even hourly changes. The important thing is to establish a trend. Of course, if you can't tolerate the drug, that's a good reason to abort a trial.

At the moment, I don't have any suggestions as to what direction to take your treatment. If you want, you can keep the selegiline, but add a SSRI or SNRI, and then supplement that with a drug like nortriptyline or desipramine. You could even go with a similar combination using Wellbutrin instead of a tricyclic.

What has been your history regarding the use of MAOIs?
