So you needed the levadopa, I guess you are back with the PD diagnosis rather than essential tremor.
From my reading I have noticed that the dietary recommendations/restrictions are usually for those taking more than 10mg Selegiline / day. I would think of equal or more importance is the potential interaction between Selegiline and Amytriptyline which can raise BP but again if Selegiline doses are low it is usually OK. (I miss my morning amphetamine boost from Selegiline but I dont miss the wild BP fluctuations.)

I have had a couple of very brief incidences of flashing lights and stars in front of my eyes in the morning, they disappeared as soon as they came. They were quite different from the visual hallucinations I have had from PD meds, particulary Amantadine. These always happen when my eyes are open, eg I saw a car crashed in our front garden which when I looked again wasnt there.
