Experimental treatment for PD
Does anyone know anything about the

trials
going on in the UK with Ambroxol as a treatment for PD (a repurposed cough medicine)? The preliminary results look good, but I can't find anything after 2021.

Finally diagnosed + Fluoxetine help
Today I finally went to a psychiatrist and got formally diagnosed with dysthymia. Not sure how to feel about it. On one hand, it sucks having this but in the other, now I know it is something else and not just me being dramatic and exagerating my feelings. Anyways, they gaved me Fluoxetine for 1 month
