BurdenNot at all hard to take
Dosage:
5 mg
Daily
Advice & Tips:
I have stopped taking selegiline for 3 reasons: 1.) Cold hands and feet - too hard to deal with in winter. 2.) Dietary restrictions are not usually needed at 5mg but I have noticed blood pressure elevation when eating the usual MAOI prohibited foods. This does not suprise me as I am unusually sensitive to many medications. 3.) I no longer believe that increasing the effectiveness of monoamine neurotransmitters is a solution to my problems with depression.
Cost:
$25-49 monthly
Side effects:
tyramine reaction, cold sensation in hand(s)

BurdenA little hard to take
Dosage:
5 mg
Daily
Advice & Tips:
Overall, I like this medicine so far. I usually take 5mg when I wake about 6am, then I sleep for a few more hours and take another 5mg. It feels like a very mild stimulant, like adderall only much more subtle. I had hoped it would do more for my lack of motivation, anhedonia, or lack of inclination to move about.

tyramine reaction, cold sensation in hand(s)
