I'm not saying it didn't work. Perhaps it's working as well
as Celexa, which was pretty good, but I don't yet know of the sexual
effects. This has a practical bearing on whether
I should try to maintain 2-3
ampoules per day, or, if I feel no acute
depression, can I decrease the
dose, and then quickly recover if I should feel
that I'm about to crash. I'm not asking for a
definitive answer from you. I'm trying to make
a distinction between an "antidepressant" and an
"euphoriant", if that distinction has any meaning.
Thanks.
