Do you experience tinnitus?

I agree prescription use is “out of control”.

Blanket condemnation of Big Pharma is very leftist.

As opposed to objective and rational examination of pros and cons.

Also, that does not address my comment which was that repurposing of a generic drug is not in Big Pharma’s interest.

THE effective drug for depression is sunshine

Yabut, will moving to Florida make my ears stop ringing?

Ptobably not but definitely add the D-3 for the depression. I see immediate results with several folks that I have induced to take it including one fellow who stropped his methadone within a week of starting with the D-3. I don’t know how that relates but it seems to have done well for him. His wife was manic depressive and stopped taking her several anti depressive drugs after starting a D-3 regimen (15k mcg daily). After being an emotionless nothing she is now effervescent and smiles and has none of the elation/suicidal cycles she had been going through since puberty.

And then again, maybe not.

WARNING: never take a drug used for depression or anxiety for something else like tinnitus. They will eventually exclude you from owning weapons because you are taking anti depressants. Notice they use soldiers as an example of those who could be helped?

Sorry, I couldn’t help the smart remark, as I was pinged to a “tinnitus thread”.

I’m glad to hear D-3 will likely be helping millions suffering from depression, and especially the vets with PTSD.

Probably not. Doctors mostly disdain it. If they prescribe it they give the D-2 version which is totally synthetic and in tiny doses. Some doctors have studied the supplements and are enthusiastic. Drug companies don’t give samples of it to doctors. PTSD doesn’t seem to fit the bipolar condition though it may manifest that way. There is a fellow, a marine veteran of several ME tours I alternate workshifts with who has PTSD that seems to be getting more severe. I have been trying to talk him into trying the D-3 for at least the depression component. No luck so far.

“when people have chronic pain, they also commonly develop varying degrees of depression,” says Potter.”

.
The feeling of pain 24/7, kills any feeling of joy in this life and hence the depression.
