> Does anyone know why the moai's were devoped for TB patients and they got happy hence they became ad's? What was their original purpose? Thanks Phillipa
I believe TCAs (not MAOIs) were first tried on TB. I don't know the origin of MAOIs. In Kramer's book (can't recall which one - Listening to Prozac or Against Depression) he cites an even earlier drug that would have TB patients dancing and singing. It was discontinued because it made people feel too good, from the perspective of MDs.
