Positive experiences
“I used it every single day with almost no breaks for a whole year in the row and didn’t even develop the tiniest amount of tolerance. It permanently changed my brains response to triggers and I no longer have anxiety 4 years later, socially atleast.”
“Selegiline makes me noticeably more motivated. It makes me sleep even more, which sucks.”
“a low dose of selegiline/deprenyl has helped me with motivation. ... I only take 1.25mg-2.5mg a day and have the positive effects.”
“Other things are in that gray area like sulbutiamine, racetams, selegiline, and nicotine have helped me.”
“Motivation has been my major focus in searching for nootropics. Racetams have been useless in this regard for me, but...The one drug I've found to be incredibly useful is selegiline.”
“I started taking high dose selegiline and moclobemide with d,l-phenylalanine... my anxiety as well as anhedonia have been abolished.”
Negative and mixed experiences
“At first it was fantastic. Motivation out of the blue high energy clear thinking. After a few weeks on selegiline I started to get very agitated, everything bothered me.”
“I've been taking it consistently for over 2 years to lower prolactin. 1.25 mg sublingual, 5x/week... Very easily aroused and stronger erections. Reduced refractory period... I sleep like absolute shit.”
“I feel quite more sociable and talkative while normally even with uridine, I don't talk much, so I will definitely keep taking selegiline.”
“I personally like it. Gives me a lot of drive and energy. Too much can make you antsy but if you titrate to the right amount it can work wonders. I take a sublingual dropper with 1mg / day.”
“Selegiline at high doses (it worked wonders for me at 30mg/day). 3-4 days of that and i was sleeping better and waking up at 6am ready to start the day.”
“I find that selegiline has less raw focusing power than ritalin, or especially adderall. But I have much more control over the focus.”
