Very interesting! FYI, when I was researching antidepressants and other therapies for depression and anxiety, I visited the Remedy Find website. Hormone replacement therapy (estrogen) was reviewed, and one of the people reviewing it was a man. No, he was not reviewing it on behalf of his wife, he was reviewing it on his own behalf. He is a 50 year old, and was being treated for depression with Wellbutrin and Provigil. For unrelated reasons, he started taking 50 ug (0.5 mg) of Lynoral (ethinyl estradiol), and found that his mood brightened and his memory improved. At the time of his review, he had been using the estrogen for several months, without adverse effects, and was actually able to stop using the Wellbutrin.Tamara
