Hi John250. I was going to answer sooner, actually the same day but still have 5 post limit. Makes sense as a policy for a site like this. Anyway the time since has given me enough perspective to answer your question thoroughly. 5mg was the original dose. I found that I would be a little too prone to food reactions so have titrated down to 1.25 via 2.5. No withdrawals whatsoever. When I was on 5 I could skip three days, no worries at all. Here is an interesting story. A couple years ago I had a great friend who was always there for me. He kinda vanished. I think he was doing hardcore stimulants, like the type that comes in 100 percent pure form off the street. He had been kicked out of his gf's house, (where he was living) in myanmar, which is a place where alot of illicit things can be found. So he arrived an absolute mess to Thailand with nowhere to go. I have a spare room and always have tea and sympathy for old friends. especially fellow Americans. I let him stay in the spare room. I have never seen a person sleep for so many days. He must have been taking a lot. Anyway, I suggested to him that if he could not get out of bed ( which he was going to have to do to get a job to contribute something) he could try selegeline. After the first dose, he was out of bed and functioning again. He said that he did not get any euphoria from selegeline but he no longer had any desire to use. Within two weeks, he was working again. I have never seen a person in that state before but seeing him come back to life was absolutely miraculous. Whatever he was taking obviously had a comedown. Funny enough, selegeline was able to save my friend from his comedown and neither of us have experienced any comedown from selegeline. Just remembered I should spell it with an i, not an e.....
