Treatment for neurological lyme disease can include phycitric drugs, and I was considering taking something for depression to help. After reading Information from Phycyatrist Dr. Breggans website, this may be a bad idea. I am not very well informed on these issue, but am concerned that taking antidepressants and other phyciatric medicine, may in fact worsen peoples lyme symtoms. Just wanted the comunity to aware of this info as well.

Here is the link for Dr. Breggan's website.

Well said. I was trying to avoid drugs that just temporarily relief symptoms but not cure the root, like beta-blocker.
