Thanks, please remember I am not a doctor.

I cannot comment on the quality of information presented by other people.

> However, HOW DO YOU REMEMBER IT ALL? For example, did you just remember that Serzone blocks, i.e. gets in the way of serotonin activating, a particular serotonin receptor (5ht-2a) that people think is linked to anxiety and depression or do you print out material and then refer to it when a related question comes up?

I can't remember everything. I am good at learning and memorizing things, but my working memory is small (I hated classwork like history, etc which required a lot of memorization). So sometimes I have to refer back to notes, but then it comes back to me quickly. This one I knew off the top of my head.

> You rattled off a bunch of other things about Serzone and one thing about Zyprexa (ironic cuz I'm on that one!) and again I can't help but wonder do you just recall all of this very detailed, scientific info or do you have printed material that you refer to?

I think it is very important to read Dr. Bob's page regarding the use of this website. How to interpret the quality of information, etc. Please take what you read with a grain of salt. This is primarily a support group.
