Hi.
Regarding mifepristone:
> That sounds very promising if they're trying to fast track it for trials for depression, I could only find one or two studies on it but they looked promising, it's nothing to do with the fact that they couldn't get it approved for what it was originally intended though is it?
I believe it is already available as an abortifacient in the US under the name Mifeprex.

> I've only been on Nardil, that was the last one I tried before I went on Seroxat and although it made me more relaxed I felt soooo strange on it. I was doing things without actually feeling like I was doing them. I know you feel like that with depression sometimes but I drove all the way to the seaside to see a friend and afterwards could hardly remember any of the journey it was almost as if I'd done it but not really been there. I had very little real motivation on it and spent ages in the supermarket zoned out trying to concentrate hard enough to pick something to eat. I didn't like Nardil at all. Whether the dose was high enough I really don't know but I only stayed on it for about a month and then gave up on it.
If anything, it sounds like you were started at too high a dosage. What you describe sounds reminescent of what I have experienced when increasing the dosage too fast. Of course, Nardil might not be right for you at all. I would not generalize your experience with Nardil to all MAOIs, though. Parnate might treat you very well.
