Aren't you aware of how nonselective the SSRI's really are? It is a horrible idea to flood the brain with serotonin. Drugs that specifically act on certain serotonin receptors are much better than SSRI's. I for one would much rather take inositol than an SSRI. I've heard that you can take 500mg twice a day. I've also heard the 12g thing. Either way, it's better than an SSRI. I don't need a study to say that inositol has fewer side effects than the nonselective SSRI's. There are just some serotonergic receptors that don't need to be activated. Personally, I was thinking something like a very low dose of Remeron, DHEA, calcium supplements, a multivitamin, and inositol would be a good combination. For those who are drug leary, I suppose the Remeron could be removed (although I personally don't think most people will experience many problems if they don't raise their dosage over 15mg/day). I've already seen enough studies that blast SSRI's to want to see any more. They're simply based on an outdated thought model.
