That's interesting. I think that the weight
issue is of minor concern in cases where
the anxiety and insomnia side effects of the
more stimulating ADs makes for a miserable life.
What I find odd, is that the subsequent drugs
have not progressed much in terms of being
indubitably effective for depression. I would
say that goes for lithium as well - its drawback
is also weight gain and of course the thyroid
suppression, and toxicity.I have written to a couple of drug instrumentation
companies for a portable li-detector which would be super
for gaging toxicity. I have read on one of hte
usenet groups that ReliaLab is working on something
but have nor pursued it - fearing it may be a
Scientology scam - yeah i know i am paranoid.Squiggles
