Hi folks, new account here but I've been on and off these boards under different guises since around 2008. Hopefully I don't lose my password to this account and its associated email like I have my others. Surely a result of being overly paranoid and not wanting to directly associate my day to day communications with my shroomery account, which is such as shame as my right to free speech should never feel compromised.
Well anyway, I was just hoping someone would join the conversation and help me get to 20 posts so I can go discuss deprenyl in the ODD forum. I have never taken it but it seems super intriguing and I would like to here anyones experience who has had it.
Interesting erowid page on it: https://www.erowid.org/smarts/selegiline/selegiline.shtml

Welcome (back). I don't know why you feel your free speech is compromised. You are free to talk here as with anything. Just don't openly incriminate yourself and there is no issue.

Thank you! and yes I know, I am just a little paranoid sometimes, i know we actually are free to discuss these issues, but damn ever since Prism, and the NSA spying scandal, and after watching way too many episodes of Person of Interest, my feeling that there is an ever growing database of my personality and habits that I do not have access or control over has increased considerably. I don't reaaely worry ,but the thought is there. you know.
I also am at that point in life where I really like the feeling of being sober but can't tolerate it for very long. I smoke weed constantly.

I use 6mg Emsam daily. It's prescribed to me by a doctor for medical purposes (abates my CFS/FM symptoms 85%).
I started taking it because I had a depression and as a CFS/FM Pt, antidepressants that had worked for me prior to my condition either didn't work or I couldn't tolerate. I needed to try a totally new drug class and the transdermal application didn't upset my IBS, which was severe.
Literally overnight, I was less depressed, less anxious, got out of bed in the morning and made myself a cup of coffee. Within 10 days/2 weeks, I no longer had brain fog, my sex drive returned, and my gnawing muscle pain was gone. I realized it was the Emsam after I had no pain for days on end and finally cracked a clever joke to a friend. I hadn't had a one-liner in years.
Emsam gave my my life back and I recreated my life and career. It did NOT 100% clear up my symptoms, but they're manageable and I'm alive.
Selegiline can react badly with other meds, even OTC, such as I can't take Sudafed and other decongestants. I occasionally (1-2 p/yr) take a very small dose of Ritalin to help with fatigue. Even some docs disagree on the safety of these two together.
Not exactly sure of the metabolism, but I think the body creates a certain amount of methamphetamine from the selegiline during metabolism. (That's how people get extra energy, insomnia, and weight loss.)
The high blood pressure warning with selegiline is if you eat tyramine, although at a 6mg transdermal dose, this isn't a problem.
I typically am a lightweight and with other medical issues, I'm not very experimental. But I want to microdose mushrooms (no idea/preference what variety) for psychological "clarity" on some personal matters and issues. I'm looking for info about safety concerns of microdosing psylocibin while taking 6mg transdermal Emsam.
What do I need to look out for? Do I need a washout period?
