Hey, just tried this for my depression after reading stuff on the board and elsewhere. I only respond to anti glutamergenic meds (riluzole, special k, theanine, memantine) as i firmly believe my condition is caused by an intaractable magnesium deficiency. Everything else tends to do nothing, or improve my depression but increase my anxiety (choline, caffeine) or vice versa (benzos).
Anyway after takin 3 tabs of 'boots travel calm' yesterday (2 in the morning, 1 in the evening) i definetly feel different (better) today, although yesterday i just felt spaced out and a bit weird.
was wondering if anyone knew what a sensible dosing regime would be? Seems as though oral dosing brings levels to about 1/4 of the same amount if IV'd! Should it be taken long term? And if so, little and often or in a big dose every 3 or 4 days? And should i expect rebound symptoms?
Aldo should not ive bieen having PLX therapy so it may even be that causing the AD effects!!
Thanks
Rover

Yes, I've tried it. It seemed to reduce the noise inside my head. It also made me feel less depressed for the next few days - albeit a little 'off'

> LinkadgeDitto, i feel quite spacey on it, but very calm also. What sort dosages did you use? do you think this has any potential for long term use as an anti depressant?!
cheers

I had some posts about this a few years back, I IV'd the stuff. It made me feel absolutely awfulk and more depressed but my life circumstances also got worse so could be one of those chicke or the egg sitautions.
One thing though, it will completely erase your memory so be aware of that side effect if you keep taking Scop.

My doctor once treated me with the anticholinergic Akineton (biperidon), as there had been some thought years ago that acetylcholine was involved in depression. It didn't help, but I found the drug to be was less harsh than Cogentin (benztropine). It is too bad that Akineton was discontinued.
