I have read that Selegeline has the ability to, at very low dose (1-2 mg daily), help aid in an increase of base testosterone levels. Dr. John, or anyone else that knows or has experience with this med. please correct me if I am misinformed.
Basically I wanted to know if anyone here had ever taken Selegeline and if so, what was your experience?
I'm interested in it not only for it's potential to support testosterone levels but also for it's possible neuroprotective benefits (protecting the dopamine neurons from oxidative stress, maintaining a higher dopamine concentration in the brain through (at low dose) it's selective inhibition of only MAO-B and not MAO-A. I've also heard that it can reduce cortisol and has been used for cushings. Does this mean that it is not a good idea to take if you have adrenal fatigue? I don't think I need any less cortisol, I already seem to have a pretty rough time waking up in the morning. When taken with Acetyl L Carnitine it supposedly helps to improve the dopamine & acteylcholine function in the brain. Any feedback is always greatly appreciated.
