Hi Scott,My own oops.
I didn't read your follow up oops.
I figured you should have known better on this one. ;)BTW, are you onto the Nardil trial?
And have you always been diagnosed Bipolar?Do you maintain Lamictal with the other medicine trials?
You couldn't pry Lamictal out of my cold dead fingers. ;0

NE beta receptor downregulation had been the focus for many years, but I don't know if any explanation as to its relevance has been established. It's just that these compensatory changes take two weeks to appear, a time course that coincides with the two weeks it usually takes for someone to respond to most antidepressant medications. I know you know this stuff. I just wanted to make sure that I did.
