To me, it's still an extremely safe treatment for depression.Where else are you going to find such a side effect-free, neuro-protective treatment? It increases cerebral blood flow on the left, dampens the production of cortisol by the HPA axis, and makes favorable changes to BDNF and CA3 neurons in the hippocampus- all without running the risk of cognitive damage.
My only complaints are about it are that it is really only moderately effective, overall, and it becomes extremely expensive as a maintenance treatment. But when ir really works, as it did for me, it's wonderful.
