> Hey Panda, Iam just curious why you reccomend Elavil. Is this drug used in Parkinsons ? and i also thought TCAs are usually the last choice in treatment for depression.

>Elavil has potent antimuscarinic activity which makes it ideal for Parkinsons. TCA's are last choice purely because they are old & people can't make money by selling them.
> I know this is off topic. But Iam going to ask you because you seem pretty knowledgeable.
That's an illusion. :) I know a bit about Antidepressants, but not a great deal else.
> Why isnt synthetic testerone, or growth hormone used in degenerative nuero problems? It seems that these would help heal and restore any damage caused by say ,meth, or depression.

>I don't think all nerve cell damage can be healed, I think once they are gone it's too late.
Cheers,
