In reply to weirdo question regarding 5-htp and amphetamine, posted by JohnX2 on November 1, 2001, at 3:15:44
PS. I'm starting with a few stimulant
articles, and also am studying how
anti-depressants work along these brain paths.
Going to dig up as many articles as possible
to hopefully understand my med poop-out and
others such as Scott's (SLS).If someone like Cam,SLS,JG,Elizabeth,AndrewB would
like to join me in discussion, I can send the documentation
by email (but you need to download the CPC
viewer from cartesian systems)
http://www.cartesianinc.com/.
PS. their document compression tools are awesome. You can scan in
a multi-page document with multiple
large TIFF files and convert them into this very small
shrink-wrapped .cpc format that is easy to send via email.PS. I am aware of copyright laws, and will attempt
not to violate them.-john
