I didn't know that. Why can't they stipulate women of childbearing age use an oral contraceptive for the duration of the study? I suppose birth control hormones might alter metabolism in some way that would affect treatment outcomes - estrogens also have antidepressant properties themselves so I've read which might lead to improved efficiency when combined with an antidpressant, so that would alter the result? (I'm not familiar with the language of clinical study but I guess there's a term for what I just described?):o)
