I take 1.25mg Selegiline daily - at present I have only been taking it for a week or so, but I did go a couple of months last year before taking a break until recently.
I don't THINK I noticed any particular ill effects last year, but I am wondering - are there any dangers with taking this irreversible MAOI continuously?
I have no plans to increase my dosage, and I know that, supposedly, this chemical is selective for MAO-B at lower doses, but I spoke to a doctor last year who advised me strongly against continuing to take it, and said that no MAOI is completely selective, and I was still putting myself at risk for hypertensive crisis and, possibly, dangerous interactions with other substances.
However from my own research and subjective experience I haven't been able to find any information that indicates there is any real danger at the dose I am taking it at, or even, really, any dietary restrictions.
Can someone clear this up? Am I at risk in any way taking 1.25mg of selegiline daily long term?
Any information at all would be appreciated.
