Background: I'm seeing a psychiatrist for clinical depression. I've been taking selegeline 10mg in the morning daily for the depression. (I also take 4 grains of Westhroid-P, but am not as far as I know, anywhere near hyperthyroid, I only eat 1500 - 2000 calories a day, and don't have much appetite to eat more than that, I'm also slightly overweight). He wants to raise the dose to a "therapeutic" level up to between 30-50mg. My concern with that is the MAOI would be unselective, possibly raising serotonin too much and counteracting the good effects of increasing dopamine, acting almost like an SSRI. Is this assessment accurate?
