Can you offer any links to articles about tianepine's neuroprotective properties? I've talked to my pdoc about it, and it's on my list of "sure sounds like it might be worth a try" medications, so if you've got something I can take in...

Do you think taking a melatonin supplement could help with this? Or would it just not be absorbed properly?
