Hi Tamara,
> Glad that everything is ok. How are you finding the DLPA?
Too soon to tell. I have only been taking it with the selegiline sporadically because of the asthma issue.
> The Anafranil has not been too bad, just a bit more dizziness when I stand up and some dry mouth. I am at 50 mg now, and was thinking of going up to 75 mg. I think I will wait a week before increasing my dose. I always find that I feel worse when I am PMSing (sorry to be so personal), hence the decision to wait before increasing the dose. Plus, I want to try the NADH and the DMG as augmenters.So the Anafranil seems to be working and you're planning to stay on it a while? (I'm assuming that you've done some research on NADH and you know that it can't be taken indefinitely as it will tend to poop out and/or make you irritable if you don't take breaks from it. Also, I think TMG is a better augmentor with it than DMG. Can you get TMG in Canada? You probably know all this as I see you've been doing a lot research lately - but I thought I'd mention those things in case you haven't read them.)
> As for the DMAE, I think it is a lost cause. I found the revised Food and Drugs Act schedules and DMAE is definately listed, so I guess I am SOL. I am going to see if any of my friends or even my dad will be going to the States soon and see if someone can pick some up for me. At least I got the NADH, so that's a start.
I saw your other post about how you can get the DMAE in Canada now. Yay! So ridiculous how they restrict such benign supplements!
> I hope you find something to help you with the asthma problems you are having. I have had to see a lung specialist in the past because of a spot on my lung which was apparently from a lung disease - histoplasmosis - I had had (not sure when I ever had that). Recently I had to go back to him because my gp noticed wheezing when I had my physical. I wasn't worried about the wheezing since I always seem to wheeze about 1 to 2 weeks before my cycle (can't figure that one out).I don't have any wheezing so maybe it's more of a stress issue. My nasal passageways swell up though and I can't breathe out of my nose. That part is from either allergens or possibly the dry heat inside this time of year. Then my chest gets really tight probably from stress/panic. I can feel myself clenching the muscles in my chest and I feel that I'm fighting to get air. I haven't wanted to take the selegilne for fear that it might make the situation worse.
> Take good care of yourself. And, good luck with the DLPA and selegiline.Thanks. If I could just get healthy enough for a normal trial of it...
Good luck with your new supplements. Be sure to report back on how they're working for you. (You never did try the Rhodiola, did you?)
