Has the product got some form of sweetener in it tho?

My understanding was that it isn’t used much for depression nowadays as it isn’t effective compared to newer medication.

why bother with any sort of research - just let Drs try stuff out and use anything the patients say works.................Cochrane you just did yourselves out of a job :banghead:

people criticise politicians for selective or incorrect quoting of statistics. EC isn’t a scientist she’s a politician.

Is Amytriptyline actually proven effective for anything? GPs seem to give it to anyone that mentions sleep or pain - in my opinion it’s just sedation. And when the effect wears off they just want to up the dose. Ugh.

@Binkie4 Just a minute.

Ok thanks :thumbup:

I’ve been justifiably critical of AFME based on my own experience as a user of their documents Marge I’m not hostile to Phil. I hope everyone realises that

On my list for next year. I will have to get it privately as the NHS is limiting it to people a fair bit older than me so I doubt even if it is extended it would include my age group any time soon.

Dear @phil_in_bristol i used to work on web content for a public sector organisation I know how long it takes to get documents updated and it depends on the urgency given to the work. A forum is a place for expressing and exchanging views. I’m no longer a member of AFME since I realised their...

Fair enough @phil_in_bristol but 15 months to address the pacing booklet means meanwhile no doubt quite a number of people will have taken on board the approach in the old version. Which could quite easily have been addressed by taking it down until the new one was available. Not a strong...

Possibly still negotiating a deal :whistle:

Can’t get past the first 4 words - hope is a trait. Really? - a trait? I mean I’ve never studied psychology so maybe that’s been shown by someone in some absolutely rock solid research. But to me as an ordinary human being it sounds dubious.
