Thank you! That's really sweet of you! I'd love to know if there's anything I can do to make the restrictions and consequences of not following them a little less severe.

One thing I have to take into consideration is the fact that I'm also on the BC pill, which in one study (and only one that I've found so far), was shown to increase the bioavailability of Selegiline by 10-20%. So because of that, even though I'm on a relatively low dose (10mg), I really do have to watch what I eat.

I just started taking 10mg yesterday after taking 5mg for a week, per my psychiatrist's advice, to make sure I didn't have any odd reactions to it. I haven't noticed any positive or negative changes in my mood yet, but it's still early.

I feel soooo much better, thanks!

Yikes. You're right, I'm glad this happened in the confines of your home. You'll get the hang of it soon enough. Besides this, how do you feel about the MAOI?

Other than having proven to myself that not following the guidelines is a really bad idea, I don't have much of an opinion yet. I just started taking the originally prescribed dose of 10mg yesterday, so I'll have to wait a little while to see if I have any positive and/or negative effects as far as mood is concerned. I haven't had any unusual side effects like I did with every other drug, though, and that's been a real relief.
