About a month and a half ago, I read in Popular Science about a 50 year old drug originally used to treat tuberculosis. It has recently been discovered to be very effective in treating depression. They said it was much more effective than the current SSRI's available. The article said it is pending FDA approval for the treatment of drpression. If anyone has heard any updates on this, I'd sure appreciate hearing about it.

my suggestion would be to back to the article, find out the name of the drug and ask your pharmacist or doctor about it
