does anyone who takes Selegiline has occassional bouts of nausea after being on it for a while? Usually it is ok but occassionally it causes shakiness and nausea. It could be a symptom of Bipolar I. Which leads me to another question. Has anyone who has Bipolar I experienced, when they crash into depression, actually feel nausea or physically sick? Many thanks,

How much are you taking? I can imagine shakiness at certain doses, 5mg/d might make me a bit shakey. After a sleepless night moreso.
But nausea is not something I've ever had from it.

It is actually a family member who is taking it, 40mg to be precise! She is fine most of the time but when she hits a depression it makes her nauseaous and shaky. I wonder if that is the depression and not the med. It has helped her greatly. Can depression do that to you?

Wow, 40mg/d! I imagine it's a whole new ball game at that level.
Does your friend sleep well enough, all things considered?
Someone on the med board was on 60mg/d for a while, but I never found out why he stopped.Declan

She does, she takes Seroquel to sleep which is great. She also takes Phenylalanine which boosts it I think. We shall see, she has been doing well but she has had a little bit of a regression and I am worried the medication is starting to fail after 5 months. I am keeping my fingers crossed,
thanks for the info.,

Can selegeline cause nausea? I've been incapacitated from nausea for a long while now, no one knows why, and my god, I wonder if it's the selgeline!

my sister sometimes has that in the morning and takes selegiline with food and that helps tremendously!

Thank you, I'll try to pay attention to this variable, but I'm on the patch so it's trickier. I feel nauseous before, during, and after eating. I may ask to go back to pills. I think they actually had fewer problems for me (despite dietary restrictions) and were more effective.
