Polarbear,
yes, I have seen that study and also know they are currently doing trials for unipolar and bipolar depression using both the skin patches and the pills. I was sort of interested in trying the pills , but on all of the info I have seen, they did not mention what dosage they were trying with the pills.
I also wonder if taking them once a day, that is, at night before bed, would be enough. I have taken it before for sea sickness and it makes you pretty drowsy, I would not want to walk around all day like that.
On another note- the article I saw two days ago about scopolamine also cited some interesting studies and stories on riluzole ( an ALS med)here is one I thought was interesting

Anyway, its ridiculously expensive, i mean out of this world, so its not an option. But interesting nontheless.JB
