Just to make sure this is clear, Sad Panda gets the free subscription to Babble for correctly identifying the location of nephron.
Whether or not clonipramine started in France, Weird Al has it nailed.
nephron -- in case you missed this a few DINGs back, there was actually some info in there for you from me and Panda, respectively:

> "Having patience" and "keeping an open mind" are two virtues difficult to keep in your friend's situation, but giving dothiepin a fair trial would probably be a Good Thing (tm) overall, given his pdoc's hesitance to try something new in the first place and the possiblity that it might actually work (imagine that!).

Good on you, again for following up for your friend =^)
