hmmm... i'm seduced by your answer. i'm interested in afobazol - i will have to look that one up. im fairly new to these boards, but it seems people's negative opinions are largely limited to the serotonergic reuptake inhibitors in terms of causing some sort of lasting, post-AD syndrome, but not others... Am I wrong about this? I have only briefly been on one.
Just curious if you have an opinion of plain old cytomel... or magnesium, especially transdermal magnesium as that seems to play a role in the process that causes lasting impairment. Any opinions on the folate-cycle treatments - SAMe and L-methylfolate?
I do wonder if people overly attribute negative outcomes to medications over the pathology of depression. I think it's growing clear that depression is neurodegenerative in many ways and causes all sorts of negative immunological and endocrinological changes. although in looking at the post-ssri sexual dysfunction syndrome, there is clearly something going on. I could imagine that some of these drugs could potentially net worsen the state of the hippocampus if they were withdrawn and cause further trouble with the HPA axis and whatever other hormones are involved....?
I am certainly curious what you mean by 'people like me'?
