As I have said before, I have acquired more practical knowledge from this site in the last year, than I have in 16 years as a community pharmacist.
Hell, use my name if you want (for what it's worth). I have nothing to hide. As my wife says, "I'm a boring, old married poop." So, I introduce her as my "first wife" and tell people that "my next wife hasn't been born yet."
Anyway, any information that I give on this site can be used by anyone, BUT as a caveat, I'd double check anything I say with the current medical literature. I have been known to make mistakes and do have mental lapses. I do not tell people to change their medications without consulting their doctor first; I do not diagnose; and I certainly won't give information when I know that the person is going to harm themselves or self-medicate without being followed by a medical professional (preferably someone with a medical degree).
I will talk about what current research thinks the drugs are doing and may speculate as to unique mechanisms of action.
First and foremost, I try not to disrupt current therapy (ie do no harm).
In other words, Dr.Bob, use what you want (I can usually reference it for you) however you would like to, of anything that I post (but I'd still like to see that article about PB).
Sincerely (Nah, not really ... more like, blowing my own horn - if only) - Cam
