I think a second general meds-related board would probably turn into another board where the same questions are asked time and again (have you noticed that even on one board there can be 2-3 threads about "I'm starting Effexor, what should I expect?"). Or what to do about sleeplessness, or too much sedation/sleep, or weight gain, or weight loss, or constipation, or diarrhea, etc.

And, the archives probably contain hundreds of "I'm starting Effexor...." threads.

I would look forward to a board that could, for example, focus in on the different combos people take, and how the meds might interact. For example, within certain boundaries, and based on the proposed action of the med, what could one reasonably expect from the combo of Nortrip and Wellbutrin? That is the type of thing I'm talking about.

More ideas....The latest on treatment resistant depression; new meds or meds being tested; meds that are being used successfully but were not originally designed for depression; to what extent are people returning to tricyclics and MAOIs, after stints with the "new" ssri-type meds; and I'm always up for more advanced info even though I may not understand it all.

And, I wouldn't mind a board that addressed the fact that this condition is not for the squeamish. I think at times on PsychoBabble, people tend to be particularly hopeful for the sake of the newbies. I know that people who have dealt with depression/bi-polar/etc. for years and through many meds can offer a different perspective that I would like to hear.

And, lively debates could take place over some of the approaches taken in practice.
