Selegiline has dopamine agonist, anxiolytic and
antidepressant properties, and has been used to
treat ADD too.

and reduce anxiety levels with your same time :

This appears to be a good formula. Note that their St John's
Wort extract is standardized for hyperforin, not hypericin
like most other brands.

the same company :

http://www.betterhea...es/seroctin.htmBut it may well be that you have high histamine levels too,
as Orthomolecular suggested, which would mean that you
are a histadelic, a term which most conventional doctors
would not even have heard of or understand.
http://www.diagnose-...nd/C447056.htmlCommon traits of histadelics are slim, lanky fingers
(Abraham Lincoln was one), constant salivating at one corner
of the mouth (Marilyn Monroe), high sex drive with long
intense orgasms, allergies, chronic anxiety, depression,
obsessive-compulsive disorders and suicidal tendencies.
Marilyn Monroe apparently was never diagnosed as one
(not that the medical profession knew that such a thing as
histadelia existed, as mentioned above). Her doctor/psychiatrist
just kept dishing out tranquilizers to her, which never did
help. She was chronically highly strung, emotional and suicidal.
http://www.campaignf...nandsuicide.htmSupplements which help are methionine, SAMe, calcium,
manganese, magnesium, B6 and zinc. Histadelics are supposed
to avoid folic acid and B12. A higher carbohydrate, moderate
fat and lower protein diet is recommended for histadelics
by Patrick Holford.
A good book is his book, "Optimum Nutrition for the MInd".
The first time I heard of histadelia was when I read this book
in the local library recently.
But I think it might be better to find an orthomolecular or nutrition-based doctor to diagnose and treat you, rather than
trying different supplements and drugs at random.
Try contacting :

for histadelia is Carl Pfeiffer's center, however.
