Interesting article. Thanks.

I think that from the following conclusion of their's:

"It is therefore difficult to determine whether vasoconstrictors or vasodilators should be explored as potential therapeutic agents in asthma."

that it's unknown whether Picamilon would be good or bad for an asthmatic. I haven't experienced asthma while on an SSRI so I can't add anything on that - though I'll probably be going back on an SNRI soon so we'll see.

Thanks again,
Kara
