> I think it's only approval is for vascular brain problems. Why depression? Just a question? Love Phillipa
Because one of the main symptoms it is prescribed
for is depression in Alzheimer's disease. I remember reading in Kraepelin and Alzheimer, that depression is arteriosclerosis-related. Sometimes drs. jump classes of drugs when everything else has failed. Wondering if anyone here has been switched from ADs to APs, or Degenerative (like Alzh. or dementia drugs).Squiggles
