hey Scott,
Hope you're still doing well on your current regimen ..
I just had a couple of questions re: minocycline ..
do you believe it has the potential to show anti-depressant efficacy when NOT used in conjunction with lamitrogine (as I believe there's some synergistic effect that's been alluded to)? I am currently taking 40mg of Parnate.
secondly, do you believe it's had a positive/negative/neutral effect on your anxiety?
FWIW, I'm interested in the glutamate-modulating properties as a potential target for OCD. The other anecdotal success I've read about re: OCD and antibiotics has been with the use of Augmentin, though there are no clinical trials backing up its use, outside of PANDAS-inflicted OCD. However, Augmentin likewise seems to have glumatate-modulating properties. I was more interested in monocycline, however, given the robust results it seems to be showing as an AD. There is currently a pilot trial recruiting participants for the study of monocycline in OCD.
