Just a note re Selegiline which I was on for 2 years and recently stopped taking. My blood pressure was labile - all over the place. It has settled now I have stopped the Selegiline. I think it was the combination of Selegiline with nortriptylline which i introduced a year ago that was the culprit. There is a warning combining these meds biut I know others who do it successfully.
Btw Selegiline is not the same as Azilect though similar. In higher doses Selegiline is an anti depressent. I miss feel good factor it gave me.

I am back on Selegiline, but this time with some dietary restrictions. I will avoid most cheese, soy products and processed meats like sausage, pepperoni, etc. It's been a little over a week and I am feeling so much better again. The other adjustments to my meds just didn't work for me at all (mainly propranol).

None of the adjustments helped with reducing the flashing stars that are always there. Blurred vision improved when the carbiddopa/levado was reduced but too many other things happened that made it impossible to continue this way.

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.
