Thanks for your input Peter. I really just want to know if anyone was
aware of snorting SSRI's and possible effects of this delivery. No doubt
some people experience a variety of effects from these drugs, prescribed or
not. Your explanation is very clear.
To Scott, I want to say that I asked a question of my colleagues who might
have some helpful feedback, not a criticism of terminology or
qualifications. But my extensive education and years of personal
experience have taught me that some people in the field of substance abuse
can be reactive and difficult to communicate with. Thanks for the
continuing education!
I hope to end this discussion, unless anyone has some useful insights about
my original question. At 11:23 PM 7/10/00 -0400, you wrote:
