So I'm 24 and started taking selegiline Hcl from AllDayChemist, I'm taking it because I was addicted to smoking for 5 years and quit a year ago. I want to repair any damage to my dopamine pathways caused by nitotine addiction. I read that it's usually an MAO B inhibitor at doses bellow 10mg but it can build up quickly, so one should be careful not to take too much and avoid tyramine containing foods as a precaution. Make sure you get your doctor’s advice before starting deprenyl if you're reading this thread.

I plan to take 2.5 mg twice a week from now on. In terms of alcohol consumption I'll limit myself to gin and vodka from now on. Any thoughts on alcohol with selegiline?

Woke up, took my supplements: zinc/magnesium/calcium, ~100mg resveratrol (with Quercetin and Trans-Pterostilbene), 200mg turmeric with black pepper, 2 algae omega 3 EPA DHA oil capsules, b12 methylcobalamin, 600mg aniracetam and 300mg sulbutiamine, 2 floradix iron tablets (also has some B vitamins), 50mg ashwagandha from Now, 50 mg Rhodiola from Veridian, 10 mg vinpocetine

I took my first dose of 5mg after drinking a bottle of Prosecco with my pal during lunch (I know this was irresponsible). I took it with a further 600mg aniracetam and 300mg sulbutiamine and didn't notice a huge difference, probably due to the alcohol. My friend also took some and said he was really aggressive at a party later. I had a headache after getting home from drinks, not sure why but I doubt it was hypertension because that was my first dose ever thus little chance of MAO A inhibition right? Took 450mg magnesium citrate and 3 mg melatonin to get some sleep.

I took all my usual supplements except for sulbutiamine which I'll cycle. I took 1200mg aniracetam and 2.5mg selegiline. About 2 hours later I felt a very noticeable effect, in the tube colours seemed to really pop. I also felt euphoric and self-confident but also a little irate at times. 4 hours later as I am writing this I feel slightly tired but very calm and self-confident. I don't think I've felt this way since I was about 19. Not sure which effects can be attributed to the aniracetam since both are new.

You might want to do a search on alcohol and piracetam. IIRC, it can/may prevent the buildup of brain damaging lipofuscin (sp?) that occur with drinking to get drunk.

Thanks for the advice, I'm gonna order some.

I took my usual supplements in the morning and decided to take about 1.25 mg selegiline and 1200mg aniracetam. I began to feel a little paranoid about tyrosine and risk of hypertension so I avoided the huge list of foods. After dinner I took 450 mg NOW ashwagandha, some curcumin & resveratrol, 1200 mg aniracetam and some indian gooseberry powder. Got a slight headache, which freaked me out a bit. Honestly the dietary restrictions and the plethora of other possible interactions is starting to become counter productive for me. I'm not sure If I will continue use, I'm thinking of taking a three week break and giving rasagiline a try for the GDNF boost as that might make it worthwhile

1.25 mg/day is not really a cause for concern for a tyramine dietary restriction, as at this dose it only inhibits MAO-B. MAO-A is primarily the culprit for when it comes to dietary restrictions.

At a dose of 10 mg/day, selegiline is devoid of 'cheese effect'.

Oh, lots to read about with piracetam. For instance, it should be taken with CDP choline or another choline source (some say choline bitartrate (sp?) doesn't work) as it helps you use more of it up faster and may cause headaches if you run out or take the higher doses. Make sure you find a thread or a person here who is more knowledgeable on this than I am so you get the dosing right for avoiding the buildup of lipoduscin. I'm not really sure what the dose for that is.

Cdp-choline might have a nice interaction or eventual synergy with deprenyl
