The significance of selegiline/(-)-deprenyl after 50 years in research and therapy (1965-2015)

[Gman86]

Yes sir. This is a lifetime protocol for me.

Ya I remember u saying that u made the decision to take it indefinitely. Since the last time u talked about it on here, have u tried upping ur dose, and/ or taking it sublingually? And I forget, do u take the 5mg orally upon waking, or with food? TIA

@Cataceous do u take selegiline still? I’m looking through my selegiline notes and I see that at one point u were taking 3mg orally per day. Think that was back in 2022 tho

Yes, I've been taking 2.5 mg/day consistently.

Yes, I've been taking 2.5 mg/day consistently.

And u take it orally, correct? Do u take it upon waking on an empty stomach, or with food? Thanks for quick reply

I do take it orally, on waking with an empty stomach.

What have you found to be beneficial to taking it regularly? What side effects do you experience?

Hey @Gman86 , are you still taking Selegiline? How did you get your doctor to prescribe it?
How would one Selegiline down to 1mg from 5mg? What kind of solution would I use to do volumetric dosing?

I cut the pills in half. They are quite small but they could be cut again with a pill splitter but I am fine with the 2.5 mg dose, at least in theory since I don't feel anything similar to Gman.

I can't say with certainty, but I think it's associated with improved mood and motivation. There are no side effects that I'm aware of.
