Re: damn meds & coffee not mixing!

I appreciate the clarification Alan & I apologize for being a *bit*
defensive.

Yes, Robert. Value of the citation is important. When you're reading a
post, attention to detail is also important. You may notice that I'd
mentioned that the author of that article "reviews the **medical**
literature" (JAMA --your citation, too, incidentally, which is actually
also a review of previous medical literature and not the the result of
original clinical research --, Archives of Internal Medicine, and the New
England Journal of Medicine). None of the citations are from psychiatric
journals. I offered that article to you merely for your information
because it had more up to date citations from medical literature. I'm not
trying to prove a point at all. If it works for you, I'm happy for you.
And if less information works for you, then I'm also happy for you.

I'd be more inclined to heed the advice of a specialist in treating
arthritis, not a psychiatrist. When you're researching on the web you've
got to be careful who you cite.

Here's a link to a JAMA article:

I think their objectivity is good enough for me.

Just for the sake of discussion, that article was written in 2000, and
there's been a bit more research since then.

Here's a link to an article written by a physician in 2006
http://www.quackwatch.org/01QuackeryRelatedTopics/DSH/glucosamine.html
which reviews the medical literature (including the JAMA article you've
referred to) up through that year. Looks like the bottom line is that
there is no bottom line.
The jury still appears to be out on its effectiveness. To muddy the
waters even further, there may be differences in effectiveness between
glucosamine hydrochloride and glucosamine sulfate. The conservative
consensus is that you won't harm yourself taking it, but if you haven't
noticed a difference after 6 months, there's no reason to continue using
it.
