it would have been a huge step if they could have developed and
marketed it without any possibility of food interactions. But like so
much in psychiatry, rumors abound and bullshit abounds. In the end it
sounds like a farce to me. Most refractory depressives will probably
need 30 mg to 40 mg and for that, the company itself says they need to
put a black box on the label.

I dont understand why they dont just bring back nominfensine...it did
the same approximate thing as MAOIs but without all the bullshit
problems of MAOIs.
