Hi there,
I'm wondering about any possible interactions that might result from taking deprenyl/selegiline in combination with cordyceps sinsensis. I know selegiline operates as an MAOI (-B at lower doses, -A at doses in excess of 10mg p/d), and have only been taking very moderate doses i.e 1.25mg 2-3 per week. This is in line with the recommended dosing for someone my age (I'm 28), and also because at a low dose like this I don't suffer any ill-effects from tyramine rich foods. I have found this dose to have a noticeable benefit in terms of mental clarity, focus, motivation and the ability to articulate. However I also want to start using cordyceps again, as in the past I've found it very helpful for stamina and endurance when exercising, and for my immune system in general. But a lot of online sources claim that cordyceps acts as an MAOI (B) and I would be worried about inadvertantly causing problems for myself. A thereuputic dose of cordyceps is at least 3g of extract per day, which I would take at night as I find it quite sedating for a few hours after ingestion. The deprenyl I take in the morning on days when I'm using it.
Any thoughts?
