I agree that we, unfortunately, will probably never know what went so horribly wrong with our fellow PWP, Joe. But please consider what my spanking brand-new l999 "The American Psychiatric Press Textbook of Psychopharmacology, 2nd Edition" (a drug company freebie, but a good book, nevertheless,)states:"In the setting of degenerative brain diseases,drug sensitivities may increase as the amount of neuronal tissue in key brain areas declines..." It goes on to say that, when dealing with the "geriatric"(that's us, kids)population when prescribing meds, its best to follow the old Maxim, "Start Low and Go Slow." So be careful out there...
