I haven't read all the remarks yet, so excuse if this has already been covered. Is this drug for all types of depression, thus would include bi-polar conditions?

Off topic, but what about Zicor for cholesterol? My son insists I not take my prescription. He said the head/owner of the hospital in Tonopah advises against it. I keep forgetting to ask my daughter and/or my doctor.

Joke from my doctor daughter today:

How many surgeons it takes to screw in a lightbulb. One, but he expects the whole world to revolve around him!

Do you know what does it means when a doctor has a thermometer in her hand? Some a**whole has her pen.

BTW, I don't always comment on the threads you alert us to. But I did want to thank you once again for your efforts. Appreciated.

IIRC, this patch is the third or fourth choice because of some adverse food-drug interactions, for major depressive disorder, not manic depression, aka bi-polar. But I'm not a psychiatrist.

Natural substance lowers cholesterol better than statins

Check comment 40 on that thread too. I found a paper on it.

My mom takes Zocor. Like all statins, you need liver function blood tests periodically when you first start them for at least a few months. You also must stay on guard for unexplained muscle pain or weakness while you still take them.
