> > I am currently taking a drug called minocycline. It is a derivative of tetracycline that displays potent neuroprotective, neurogenetic, and anti-inflammatory properties. I also take lithium for neuroprotection and neurogenesis. Clinically, lithium has helped prevent mood "drift" for me. It makes a good adjunct of Parnate for treating depression. Perhaps this would be true of Emsam as well. Minocycline is currently being explored for its potential to act as an antidepressant.
> Scott, do you have any link references on studies or articles about Minocycline and depression? Seems interesting.http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed?term=minocycline%20depressive
There are several ongoing trials testing minocycline for bipolar depression.
