I think you are right about that. AFAIK, it has shown some potency as an AD, but at higher doses than used for Parkinson's.

Lots of psychiatric drugs are prescribed off-label, such as Neurontin and Klonopin. If we stuck to only what the FDA had approved, the drug kit would be a lot smaller.

gg, what are you getting your degree in?
