Ok thanks for the abstract. Interesting .. especially for Social Phobic.
> Therapeutically, MAO-A is where it's at.
It depends for who. Depression, which doesn't come from adverse situation in life, isn't 1 illness and so there's no 1 point-of-failure or 1 thing to target. Some scientist goes on to say that, only in the "depression" label there is at least 20 disorders hidding there! ... so to say that 1 thing or another is "where it's at", while it may be true for MANY people, cannot be an absolute truth as you already know. MAO-A inhibition was great for me the time it worked.. (Nardil, 2 months) but whatever the underlying systemic of the subtype of depression you have you're almost sure to be helped by inhibiting MAO-A :P ... I'm saying this because what I'm looking for is to target my problem the more specifically possible (so lower dose, less side-effects.. feeling more 'normal' and less drugged)
That said at this stage I've tried almost everything (accessible) except opiace (which I dont want to touch) and TCA (which I don't see the point because I'm VERY intolerant to side-effects and for me reuptake sucks) .. and so it's no more a matter of identifying what EXACTLYs going on into me but a matter to finish trying stuffs... next step for me if Tianeptine isn't enough is low-dose Selegiline....and so MAO-B.. where it's not at ;) I dare you f*ck up my placebo effect potential !!! XD loll
Can I ask you what's next for you ? what are you looking for ? available and in the pipelines ...
