> You believe the marketeers at the pharmaceutical companies? You think they are out to do favors for humanity or make money with novel products and clever spins? Ever notice they like to specialize in drugs for CHRONIC conditions?
>The profit motive is always the bottom line of the pharmaceutical industry. The perfect antidepressant would be extremely profitable. The FDA examines the studies, many are peer reviewed in professional journals. Do I trust drug company studies? No, not completely, but they can't be totally discounted either IMO. I think anecdotal reports are equally important to look at. In the case of selegiline, it's been widely studied for years for treatment of other ailments that has produced a lot a data.. which gives me some measure of comfort.
BTW, I am not a drug rep.
