I can't believe the reaction I'm getting, when my only intent was to share what I'd read on Selegiline. I gave you the name of the book, etc. so you could know my reference and in no way was I trying to SCARE anyone, just give info, as I previously stated! I realize ALL the even remotely possible side effects must be listed to avoid law suits, etc. In no way did I infer that everyone taking this would experience all the side effects, for heaven's sake. That's like most other Rx, etc. If you feel this is truly baloney, you might want to tell your doctor to throw away his PDR, as most generally it also lists every possible side effect as well, as do the printouts the pharmacists receive w/meds. I'm sorry you feel this way. In consulting this same book (as well as Worst Pills/Best Pills by Public Citizen's Health Research Group) for many other medications, including corticosteroids, anti-malarial, NSAIDS, etc. for friends with Lupus, cfs, fm, and M.S., I found many many side effects and wondered if this was possible, but now have read on the Lupus forum all the comments from people who have been using them, some for a short time, some for years, and am now convinced these side effects are for real. Feel so bad for those who are feeling these side effects; unfortunately many organs of the body are affected further down the road, as attested by these Lupus victims, now many of whom are losing or have lost kidney function, their hair, are experiencing muscle weakness, osteoporosis, and/or have gained excessive weight, etc. etc. I was merely trying to be of help..I'm sorry if I offended anyone. I myself was on a heart medication for 2-1/2 years & I didn't feel any side effects from it and it was doing the job..but as the cardiologist agreed to what The Pill Book said, odds were that down the road a few years, it would cause me kidney problems. That's when I began to research & found a drug alternative called CoQ10, which after numerous double-blind studies for years, has shown no adverse side effects. It works great and I'm very thankful a friend pointed me in that direction. I truly wish you all well and I hope you don't experience ANY adverse side effects from any meds.
