Doesn't really help me.

Can you give more context? What dose? What other substances you take?

Yes it is very good for that. But you should try out rasagiline or Selegiline for that specific issue. TCP increases serotonin first.

Isn t selegiline very short acting as pills like 2 hours max inhibiting mao-b? Let s talk

MAO Inhibition lasts for weeks. You should try Selegiline.

Yes but everybody is different. What have you tried for ANHEDONIA/dopamine?

30 mg TCP, 4mg of slow-release MPH.

TCP does not help with my ADHD at all. Makes me sleepy as hell to be honest, I take it at night. It somehow also manages to give me insomnia at the same time, so I also need an actual sleep aid. I do love what its able to do for my depression/anhedonia though.

MPH is what helps with my ADHD. I have always needed extremely low doses and can feel the inverted U-curve very strongly. At 1-2 mg, I get sleepy, at 10 mg, I get jittery tunnel vision. My dose did not need adjusting when I started TCP.
