I for one would not be alive, so...geuss you know my position on that.
> It is a matter of attitude. No scientist owes the rest of us anything. Why do so many of us place blame on scientists when they don't accomplish what we want them to? Anyone can find fault with the system. However, I almost never see on this forum a recognition of what is right about the system. I am very much in favor of improving the system. However, disparagement alone is not terribly constructive in my opinion.
Easy for you to say, you're in remission, haha!
Any treatment that brings me to remission is a miracle treatment for me..

Scott,I am the rare specimen of spontaneous hypertention on Parnate. I have been taking Nifedipine daily just to stay on it. Its making sick and lethargic. I only take 30mg Parnate. Either it wore off on its own, or its the Nifedipine. Either way, I probably will have to d/c it. So, anything in your miracle mix that would control spikes in BP (180-200sys)? Would that mix be appropriate for 2 year, atyp/tr MDD?
Never had one before and can't brake cycle on my own.Any chance you could answer questions on my post??
Parnate & Nifedipine? I'd really appreciate it. Btw-mind telling me what your diag is? If similar, maybe I could try your "miracle" I know MAOI's work for me big time, at least in the beginning.Thanx!Jade
