Dear bleauberry,

Thanks for the response. That's just the kind of personal user information that I was hoping to get.

When I restart, I will follow your lead. I think that I even may have some empty gel caps in stock.

Thanks again from me and my refractory depressive friends who have high hopes for this med.

I will post my experience as soon as I have something worth reporting.

Cordially,
YOGI

> I think the documented doses are just sometimes too high. I saw a case report where 15mg eliminated a woman's depression. Me, a mere 18mg had me lifting out of the pits in about 10 days, actually beginning the second day.

> For urinary side effects, the prostate med Flomax (Tumsulosin), works like a charm. It comes in 2mg and 4mg sizes, but I found taking half a capsule was just fine. Other side effects can be tough to handle, but users say they go away in about a month.

> It is the best med I've ever tried since ECT failed. That says a lot. Any med that can show promise after ECT failure has got to be a good med.
