Has anyone tried Selegiline / l-deprenyl ?

Nothing wrong with being too cautious bro.

However, you ordered name brand "Dostinex" and could have got 2-3 times the amount for a quarter of the price by ordering cabergoline as "Cabaser."

At any rate.....you are gonna probably need a pill cutter. I got mine at getpinz.

BMJ

I've been taking selegiline for several months now by the way, 5mg in the AM and 5mg in the PM.... it seems to do what it's proported to do (mental clarity, libido, etc.). I may decrease the dosage down to 5mg ED.... and maybe even cycle off of it for a while.

I'm curious as to the possible interaction with tyramine and foods containing it... ("cheese effect") wonder if people need to follow an "MAO-I" diet?

i think at dosages at 10mg ED and above an MAO-I diet might be advised...I take selegiline even off cycle now just because of the mental clarity and libido it produces... Im a little sensitive to it so i only take 2.5 EOD

I use it, I love it. But make sure you check ANY other prescription medication for interactions before you take them. Even pain meds can make you very sick if you're on Selegiline.

Bro, I know you're busy, but could you please elaborate? Why do you love it? How do you use it? What dose?

Thanks so much. I appreciate it.

I thought I read that up to 10mgED, you're safe as far as needing a special diet, etc.

I would imagine that if one were to cycle selegiline, it would be best to take it throughout PCT and after.... to help with recovery

Didn't know that about pain meds? I've read that you should be cautious about taking selegiline if you're on anti-depressants (SSRI's, tricyclic, etc.), MAOI's, or sleep aids.... and one should consider an "MAOI diet" if taking higher dosages due to interaction with tyramine in certain foods (cheeses, cured meats, beer, red wine, etc)

All people taking MAOI's should be on a low-tyrmaine diet.

Mixture can Lead to a hypertensive crisis...

Are all of you taking this medication because you are depressed?? or just taking it fo it's mental effect??? Lot of meds floating around here......

 

[njmuscleguy]

I've been taking it for its nootropic effects, as well as its libido-enhancing benefits... oh, and it lowers prolactin too

selegiline is a great drug, however if you are drug tested or planning taking/being subjected to a drug test. dont use it, it can make you test postive for methamphetamine.

wtf?

it's not the same as some other MAOI's it acts as a mild MAOI but it's most noted effects are with dopamine (a anti-prolactin) and protecting brain cells. Guys on here take it mostly on cycle because of prolactin issues some AAS may cause. It helps with libido, mental clarity, prolactin, neuroprotectant, among others.
