Hi Elroy,
Thanks for the links, I've read most of them I think but had a drive die a while back and lost quite a bit of stuff I'd saved. I was feeling pretty discouraged when I posted, it's not as bad as I made it sound.
He was willing to increase selegiline past the point where it's MAO-B selective, he doesn't think it's as effective as parnate or nardil. He said I could try those too but I'm at least going to hold out for the Ensam patch before I go down that road.
I'm not sure why he doesn't want to combine something else with a low dose, especially since during our first visit he said it was more useful as an augmentor. I really don't think it's a safety issue despite what he said, I think he just wanted to steer me in a different direction. I'll go along for now, he's a huge improvement over my last pdoc. Maybe Cymbalta at 60 mg will be the ticket. I've already tried it but at 30 mg and only for a month. He said there is a huge jump in response at 60.
I was a little out of sorts that day, although I confirmed the appointment the day before I still forgot about it until 15 min beforehand. I can't believe I actually made it, and then he caught me off guard. I wasn't prepared to argue to stay on it, I thought that was the plan.
Elroy have you checked with smi2le.biz lately? They just updated their site, here is a quote.
"Normally SMIČLE ships all products next business day except for Idebenone, Centrophenoxine, Creatine Monohydrate, L-theanine, R-lipoic acid (powder - we have capsules in stock) and Sulbutiamine, which are on hiatus until all back orders are fulfilled, and they have been removed from the order form."
I don't remember if you mentioned what you ordered, but the creatine I didn't get is on that list.
Not sure if I just missed it before but apparently smi2le means Space Migration... Intelligence Squared... Life Extension. I don't know if that makes any more sense but I was wondering.
Anyway thanks for the response and good luck with low dose deprenyl, I'm sure it will be a good experience. I can't think of one negative thing about it and I can't say the same of the other drugs I've tried.
Thanks,
Rick
