Hi John.

That's cool. I'd like to hear your thoughts as to what drugs are most effective for particular symptoms; I don't think I've read any of your posts in which you've discussed this, and I think it's very important.

Unfortunately, I'm not sure that the information you're looking for is out there. The drug companies have a vested interest in perpetuating the monoaminergic "chemical imbalance" (whatever that might mean) hypothesis of depression -- they're not interested in looking for other possible pharmacologic effects that their drugs might have.
