Adam, I can't answer the latter question, but the only sleep disturbance Pindolol (prescribed for high blood pressure) seems to give me is relentlessly weird dreams. I've heard the sleep-disturbance warnings too, but at 5 mg/day I actually get to sleep quicker and wake up much less during the night since starting Pindolol.
I haven't taken Selegiline; I'm just doing research and weighing options.

> That definitely seems like a good idea, for depression at least. I've read that pindolol (like other beta-blockers) can cause sleep disturbances. I've had such a hard time with insomnia lately with selegiline alone I find the thought of such a combination a bit scary, but it seems worth trying, at least. What I'm not altogether clear on, based on what I've read in abstracts, is if pindolol really has an additive benefit as an augmentation, or if it just hastens response. Any thoughts on this?
