I took selegiline at a small dose and had a great effect, but because it affected something I was allergic to, I couldn't take it anymore and it worked so well on my depression. I'm now falling back into despair, and was reading about selegiline that "Selegiline is a selective inhibitor of MAO-B; MAO-B metabolizes dopamine and phenylethylamine" and I am taking requip (but may go back to velvet bean and green tea) and looked up phenylethylamine and found you can buy it. Is it safe to take? Does anyone know how much to take? I'm hoping if I can work on the dopamine and PEA in my system at least for a short time, maybe I can pull myself out of the pit of despair long enough to get me through the weekend and talk to my doc when he returns! I have a hyper toddler to take care of all day alone, and feel like curling up in a ball and crying/sleeping, and don't want to get lower than that, I'm so scared. I also want to take an ashwaganda, and maybe bacopa, l-theanine later on in the day for anxiolytic effects (don't think I should take at the same time as the stimulating ones. Any help would be so appreciated, I hate this feeling that is coming back. I dreaded it returning, and it's scarily coming down on me fast!!!
