I had to take a deep breath and read through your post slowly, Adam, because I find the scientific terms very intimidating. I can't say I follow the science exactly, but I get the gist of a cascade of reactions affecting various receptors, etc.
This sounds like an interesting path to pursue, given that it sounds like it shifts the serotonin target just enough to possibly help people for whom the ssris just don't do it.
What kind of substance is this sugar, inositol? Is it a supplement, a drug? Where would one get it? Could it be used to boost the effects of ADs in refractory depression? Could it be used with lithium? Are there pdocs using it with patients now?
