Hi HIBA,
I was sure that i saw a link on the Nobel being
given to a scientist trio for the SSRI Prozac drug,
but in humility, i can only now find something
indirect.http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/963516.stm
I confirmed btw, that the drug my friend is on IS
Nefazadone, and it has been a switch from long
time use of Imipramine (like 15 or 20 yrs); the latter
was a never ending experience of misery, anxiety,
and insomnia. It was never raised to my knowledge,
and i was not aware that ADs unlike benzos and alcohol
and some narcotics, were actually "addicting".As for the nature of depression, it seems to me
to be a Catch-22 puzzle - if you are on the drug
given for depression then your symptoms are alleviated;
if you get off the drug after many years, you cannot
see the initial state because the withdrawals induce
depression themselves. If they do not induce depression,
then they cause such unbearable withdrawal that the
subject has to go on again - eliminating any possibility
of seeing what the person is "really like now".Squiggles
p.s. sorry i took some time to reply - i am happy to
say i prepared a nice Christmas dinner.hope everyone had a nice holiday, and wishing you
peace in the coming year.Squiggles
