I have to vote with Old School on this one. SSRI,s are fine but some of us are over due for something that works. The MAOI patch would be a real blessing but, then again, I can't get an MAOI anyhow because the trial lawyers have the pdocs running scarred. Let's not overlook the real PROBLEM.....the FDA. Thirty years in the medical device industry (cardiac pacemakers) made one thing perfectly clear - if the FDA would confine itself to the safe labeling of cans of corn in the super market, we would all be better off. It is easy to defile the drug companies on the basis of profit, however, they do the significant LONG TERM testing in Europe-the FDA ignores that, requires retesting here, delays and or denies release. Keep the jelly beans....its time for real meds.
