Depression/Sleep Studies.

-Asphyxia- · 02-06-2010, 11:52 PM

Has anyone ever taken part in a research study like this? I'm kind of considering it because I do suffer from depression and sleep problems, plus I am short on cash. (I can get up to $600, which is a month's rent for me.) I don't have coverage to see a therapist either, so it might be interesting to see my results and stuff.....Just feel kind of weird about doing it.

I am doing a research trial.

I dont get paid for it sadly but if I was in your situation then potentially my viewpoint would be different.

However, for me I'm either on a med or on a placebo and noone knows which group im in. My mood hasnt been stable recently and I hope Im on a placebo but if i am then I've spent time in hospital, been unemployed and so on because of the trial.

I may however be on the med and if thats the case then i havent lost anything doing the trial

Very interesting. I guess it is good $$, however your best to ask whats involved in the study, what their main aim is and side effects or ill effects of this study, before you just jump on the bandwagon only coz of $$ and the possible treatments because of it.

If it involves taking medications, you might want to double consider it, only because generally the medications are new and may need clinical trials before they are put onto the market and you might experience side effects, depending on which group your in. I think i'm ranting on too much here....ooops but yah, just check the info out the researcher is giving to you.
