I been taking 5mg for a while but not sure if it's been doing much for me aside from some memory improvement.
i have severe melanchoic depression with full blown symptoms. poor drive, motivation, energy, interest, cognition...
but as i've dropped down to 2.5mg i been feeling different these past few days. it has only been few days. harder to think, mood is darker, things look darker, some anxiety manifesting from time to time, what little motivation i've had dropping off, even less interest than my already meager interest. less emotion. less capacity to enjoy anything at all.
Also 3 days I stopped taking Omega 3 500 epa 70 dha capsules about 3000-5000mg a day. I was taking them for about 4 days. Initially I felt some cognitive improvement. Easier to think. Bit of emotions restored but my mood was also becoming darker too. And I started having very vivid and horrific nightmares. I could not get more than 4 hours of sleep.
Is Selegiline capable of severe interaction with Omega 3, Magnesium Glycinate, B6, or ritalin and valium? The valium and ritalin I been taking has been mostly consistent though for months.
My valium has been reduced very slightly but that is for a long term attempt at a slow withdrawal.
I just been feeling so damn helpless past few days but especially today.
Taking valium or ritalin doesn't help alleviate the issue. Appears to do very little in the big picture. Such a dark mood, very unreactive, miserable, anxiety at times, and I feel ''jumpy''. Little things can spook me.
I'm seriously thinking I need to go back on another real anti-depressant again. I been on dozens. My doctor wants me to try Ludiomil (Maprotiline) which is an old TCA. Does it hold any promise?
I really need my cognition restored to some degree, my emotions, my capacity to enjoy things on some kind of level.
Even taking gabapentin today which usually helps lift me short term out of a terrible mood did little if anything to help.
I just feel like sleeping, so many meds are not available in canada which seem so promising such as Savella among others. I am frustrated. My emotions won't show it. I feel so lifeless, so mindless, but I am deeply frustrated. I hate this darkness.
Any advice please!
This likely is some Selegiline withdrawal but how long might it last? Also any tips on prescriptions? I am becoming desperate. Left field ideas are welcome since I been on dozens of dif meds already. Parnate helped quite a bit for over a year then pooped out. Paxil had some significant benefit for 3+ years but I had blunted emotions. Risperidone helped to some degree years ago. Remeron some mild effect. All non-paxil SSRIs were terrible but prozac likely not tried yet. Ritalin/Dex helped greatly but much tolerance these days.
I been trying to find Selegiline withdrawal symptoms and info online but it keeps taking me to some drug addict forums and non related junk.
Update: This morning is pretty terrible too. I accidentally posted this on the alternative board.
