> Hence if someone wants info on stronger meds check the MAOi board
Umm...MAOI's are not "stronger" than other classes of antidepressants. They are simply another part of the medicine arsenal. Do you also feel that there should be separate boards for SSRIs, anticonvulsants, etc.? Why do you feel that MAOIs are somehow different?
> same as now posters can check for more complex info on neurotransmitters.
The "neutrotransmitters" board is geared more towards understanding of the mechanisms of action of the brain and the medications. Actually, I think Scott is right that it should be named "neuroscience". That is quite different from what you are proposing, which is arbitrarily separating out one class of medication from a board that routinely discusses dozens of different meds.
