    Has anyone heard of a recent trend in which people crush SSRI's like Prozac
    or Zoloft and snort them. I have heard that it can result in a much more
    profound euphoria than oral use. I wonder if it's not a rumor that comes
    from the use of Ritalin this way?

    By the way, we are researching info about club drugs, herbal drugs and
    possible effects of combinations to present at the conference in Pittsburgh
    this fall. The FDA has said that St. John's Wort may interfere with the
    effectiveness of oral contraceptives:
    www.fda.gov/cder/drug/advisory/stjwart.htm , from 2/10/2000. Important
    info for us to share with students as well as health care professionals!

    Thanks for your help,
    Sam
