Sheesh. Why are these doctor so difficult??
I think your suggestion about seligine was very logical, and I havent heard of any extroardinarily terrible side effects associated with this med. Also, I thought the patch was out now??
Your doctor sounds too cautious, which is a sign of an uneducated doctor, IMO.
Maybe you should get a second opinion. There is a site called Depressioncentral.com (I think that is it) which is run by a doc in NYC, who calls himself Dr Ivan, by his first name. I think there may even be a link to it somewhere on this site.
Anyway, there are some names of docs in different cities who specialize in mood disorders. You may want to check those names out and call one of them.
You could also suggest Parnate, which is another stimulating MAOi.
Unfortunately many of us are having to make the suggestions to our doctors.
If you try everything and still want to try the seligiline you could order it online, but it is much better to have a doc supervising, of course, esp. bc at doese higher than 10mg there are the dietary restrictions. Those are better than no libido and sleeping all day, though, in my case!!!
I guess if you got it onlone you would have to do blood tests, etc on your own...
