that's a great mystery of life why things work and then stop. I find too that I'm never able to step into the same water twice.I've tried DL-phenylalanine at doses around 4000 mg, but again did not notice much, except perhaps a very mild mood boost (I was hoping it would have a useful antidepressant effect, since depression is one of the comorbidities I have with my ME/CFS).
I don't think I ever tried phenylalanine with selegiline though.
But my brain may not be the best one for testing out selegiline: I used selegiline on and off for 20 years as an effective mood booster and smart drug (before I developed ME/CFS from a viral infection). But after I was hit with a nasty episode of chronic organophosphate pesticide poisoning, just prior to getting ME/CFS, I noticed that selegiline was never again able to boost my mood. So selegiline seemed to permanently lose its antidepressant effect after my organophosphate exposure. I have not been able to figure out why.
I read that dopamine dimerizes with TAAR so if you TAAR is down-regulated or blocked by excess T1AM you might not be able to get the same dopamine boosting effect. That's of course just one possible explanation but I thought I'd mention that since this is a thread on T1AM.
