Bob: I think all these divisions are problematic because of overlapping categories--like you pointed out with drugs. Many drugs for bi-polar are used for unipolar, anti-psychotic etc. The same with in and out of country drugs because of combos. I think the board is primarily for drug info; so divisions based on things other than the drug being used won't work. Individual drugs categories won't work because of combo--or you would need to double or triple file some messages. I suppose you could try solos and combos. I don't know how useful that would be. Or maybe solos for the major drugs like Effexor, Paxel and then a basket for the remainder. Maybe that way newbies would be directed to previous posts on their topics. It might be nice to organize some of the elementary info, weight gain, sexual side effects, what can I expect Paxil, etc. I know you have a scheme for this. It might be nice to integrate that info into the message board somehow to stop the reiterative answering of "asked and answered" questions.
