Sal - What psychopharmaceutical training do you have? Do you realize the damage that you can do by quoting abstracts you do not understand? An abstract tells you nothing of the real intentions of the study. What are the limitations of the studies you quote? What statistical methods were used to arrive at the conclusions of the researchers? Were there enough study participants to make any real conclusions or were the conclusions only preliminary? Can the results of the study be generalized to clinical practice or are they only for a select homogeneous group? Who funded the study?
Do you realize that you could be seriously undermining doctor/patient relationships with your comments? Many of your replies are dangerous and I do not want to be part of a board that disseminates the sort of information you give.
Bye all - Cam
