Hey, I'm not trying to be moralistic. Fry all the eggs you want. When I was 28 years younger, I did my share of experimenting and part of that was probably trying to "medicate" away my depression. Just be careful of serotonin syndrome, and best wishes.--Cindy W
> Cindy, that's a rational concern but also does sound moralistic. We don't know that Greg is referring to 'continual use' or what 'continual' means (and one would become tolerant to frequent use), nor do we know that it would be used specifically to modify mood -- as an 'antidepressant.' Further your warning could apply to clinical antidepressants themselves.
