Just because the studes Sal and I have read say that these drugs work a certain way doesn't mean they're going to in you; to say otherwise would be to emulate the worst of the M.D.'s out there: hard-nosed by-the-book psychaitrists. You know, the kind who wish now that they'd gone into mechanical engineering instead. :)Pell,
It sounds as though you thought that I was put out by your post. I wasn`t at all.
One more thing on the subject of time-scale, though.
My sister is a psychiatric nurse at Addenbrookes` hospital, Cambridge. She is very keen for me to give this med combo a `decent time` (her words). She doesn`t think that the `official` time span given is nearly enough, and I trust her - she works with depressed patients on a day-to-day basis.
So, there you go.
All good things,
Anna.
