Depression and Stroke
Depression after stroke is quite common, and not just because you are
suddenly disabled, but because the brain dumps dopamine in response to
the trauma. I am definitely depressed. I have a follow-up appointmrnt
with my GP this morning, and akong with alternatives to brilinta, I will
try and get a referral to a psychiatrist for anti-depressants.

i recommend that you try niacin 500mg 1 to three times a day. known since the 1920s as a counter depressant. Highly recommended. use nonflushing if that bothers you. I prefer the "normal" flush causing version.
