The third sentence of my post "Re: Pramipexole (Mirapex) for Depression, to verac" was meant to read
"As a general rule with many exceptions, drugs for which the clinically effective daily dose is less than 10 mg are clean and specific, with relatively few bad side effects, whilst those dosed at more than 100 mg/day are often best avoided unless there's no 'cleaner' alternative. Pramipexole, it seems, is no exception to this rule."
According to the Dr Bob's FAQ at http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/faq.html#links:
"Can I put HTML tags in my messages?
No, you cannot put HTML tags in your messages. At least not now. I'll try to be open to feedback, but I'm afraid HTML tags would lead to trouble."
I've just discovered that even unintended HTML tags can lead to trouble. In the offending sentence, between the words
"...dose is" and "100 mg/day..." I wrote:
".LT. 10 mg are clean and specific, with relatively few bad side effects, whilst those dosed at .GT."
where .LT. is the 'less than' sign (shift-, on most keyboards), while .GT. means 'greater than' (shift-.).LT., .GT. and all the words in between seem to have been treated as an HTML tag and filtered out. The filtered version still looks like coherent English, but it's pharmacological gibberish and not what I said.
