Dear Kathy.
THANK YOU!It is interesting how some people respond so well to things that experienced research clinicians consider not worth pursuing. In 1992, a physician from McClean / Harvard told me to put yohimbine on my list as an adjunct to other antidepressants. In 2000, this same physician said that it was not something that I should put high on my list.
Thanks again. :-)
