Yes, this is what doctors/psychiatrists told me for my schizoid personality disorder, and is completely untrue. The fact is they don't consider changing personalities to be their job, only to correct anxiety disorders, depression, etc.This is a quote from doc "It's jsut your personality, you can't do really anything about it. " lololol
well, selegiline tablets are only used off-label for depression and/or ADD, mainly because they don't work very consistently for a lot of people. MAO-B inhibition is great for treating parkinson's disease, but with the tablets you mainly just hit MAO-B (no A) and get a lot of weak amphetamine metabolites (L-amphetamines that are less effective than the normal D-amphetamines).ADD and SAD basically. It worked so well for both during the first couple of weeks, but it stopped working for SAD after the initial euphoria wore off. It gives me energy at 5mg and higher and I can concentrate better on things.
I tried an SSRI called Zoloft for 7 months before @ 150 mg. In most cases, SSRIs either cause inorgasmia or libido loss, but that was never the case with me. If anything, SSRI improved the quality of orgasms.
On the other hand, a dopaminergic MAOI like selegiline that is supposed to have a positive sexual impact completely destroyed my libido. I guess my brain is just weird like that.
I'm kind of suprised to hear that your taking selegiline for something other than parkinsons to be honest, but I guess since you suffer from both ADD and SAD your wanting something that hits dopamine, perhaps your better off with something like ritalin, or a combination of ritalin + an SSRI.ADD and SAD basically.

What dosage did you take of wellbutrin? my understanding is that it's commonly underdosed, due to being fairly unpotent.You can't get Ritalin nor Adderall prescribed in my country where they treat ADD with nootropics because it's "safer on the long run". It's ridiculous. I tried wellbutrin before and it didn't do much, so I'm left with selegiline.
I took 300 mg of SR for a week with 20 mg of Celexa. All it did for me was kill the anti-anxiety effects of the Celexa and increase my libido. Besides that, nothing, not even an energy boast.I think it's more prominent effects come out at 300 or so mg.
One can't make this calculation as rats tolerate much higher doses of most substances compared to their body weight than humans. You can look at the LD50 of many drugs from rat studies (the dose where half of them die) and realize that the same mg / kg dose would most likely kill 90-100% of human beings.One thing about that article stating that high doses decrease tyrosine hydroxylase is that it says they were dosing rats at 10mg/kg. Correct me if I'm reading that wrong it does seem overkill but if that were the case that would basically be 500-1000mg for the average human.
well most potent 5-HT2A agonists are classed as hallucinogens ie LSD, magic mushrooms etc, however interestingly, some have experimenatlly been shown to reduce OCD (not something I'd recommend trying at home though).What's the complete opposite to Mirtazapine? An agonist at 5-HT2A, 5-HT2C, and 5-HT3. I guess the closest I can get to that is an SSRI, but SSRIs didn't work for me.
I noticed that mirtazapine's weak [alpha-2] adrenergic effects disappear within a few weeks, as beaches09 indicated. The minor tachycardia and anxiogenic effect disappears along this time scale.I guess my body is weird like that. I mean, I'm also the only person on board who found Mirtazapine extremely anxiogenic while it shouldn't be in the slightest. Mirtazapine amplified my social anxiety AND gave me insect phobia as a bonus.
