Drugs like tianeptine, reboxetine, agomelatine or amineptine are effective antidepressants for some, while others recieve no benefit at all. But wouldn't we all want them available here to at least try? And for goodness sakes if someone achieves a remission shouldn't we be happy for them and hope that others could also find that same response?!

>I did not say the herb had no promise. I just believe this is basically a pharm med sitting on our shelves. I see so many different strengths and formulations that I am appalled. We need to remove this herb from the supplement shelves and have pharma companies conduct research on this herb. Find out what works and see if the part of the herb that works can be separated from the other parts that may be responsible from the most serious sides. Perhaps we will end up with a pharm med that is superior to just the herb and without the parts that cause cataracts and serious burns. So we will have a med that has gone thru research,testing a precise formualtion. Doctors will dispense it when appropraiate that it is compatible with your meds. Also warning about cataracts when necessary. SJW may give us a the ingrediants to build a very good ad!
