Let's see. How can I say this without sounding like a condescending prick. So, a guy who claims to have "developed" a pharmaceutical all by himself, publishes a book promoting its use for the general public, making a claim that is meaningless.
No one develops a pharmaceutical by themselves, mainly because it takes tens of millions of dollars. What is "brain aging"? Is there an assay for that? How would you know a drug "slows" it? It would take longitudinal studies of thousands of people using this drug for non-approved reasons.
This is not a supplement, gentlemen (and xbandit). It's a powerful psychoactive drug that can hurt you.
Maybe a lot of people will be surprised by what I'm about to say, but no, the point of psychiatric medication is not to get a buzz or a rush or feel sparkles in your dopamine ventricles. The point is to suffer less and engage with the world in a more socially-accepted productive way. Not to feel good, or happy, but to go to work like a good little taxpaying citizen (and turn a profit for shareholders).
With insight, you can hope to compare, say, the last couple months of your treatment to where you were in life the previous year, and see if you've had productive changes. Not that the morning med head-rush is qualitatively different today than it was yesterday. If you currently take a powerful stimulant and mix it with other psychiatric meds, you can expect the "feeling" you got from the stimulants to change, that much is true. But it's not the "point" of either of them.
Your treatment is not intended to optimize the pleasure you get from stimulants "kicking in" in the morning.
The "point" of selegiline treatment, specifically, is to offer a tiny improvement in quality of life for people with Parkinson's Disease, actually; and to those with Major Depressive Disorder. MDD being a disease that is considerably worse than feeling really really sad. It is absolutely not "meant" or intended as a way to potentiate ADD meds.
It's why I skip the treatment and go straight to buying this shit off the streets--I can enjoy them kicking in guilt-free.
I get what your saying but just because selegeline wasn’t meant for anything recreational doesn’t mean it can’t be used that way. I wasn’t looking for recreational use but I know people who say it potentiate amps and Ritalin greatly and some say it dulls it. So it can be felt, that’s a fact. I just wasn’t sure what it could possibly feel like, the only thing I know is that this feeling only occurred since taking the selegeline 6 days ago. It’s either that’s or (half jokingly) the microdosing of the amp. It’s one of the two because the selgeline is the only thing I have changed and I’m certain this feeling is caused by that one way or another. I’ll find out in a few days when back to baseline.
