Someone in my dept works on the effect of antidepressants on taste and whether loss of or enhancement of a certain taste helps select the right treatment etc.
As an aside I took part, had a severe reaction, had to go home sick as a dog and couldnt pee for 6 hours
In general uni PhD projects wont do you much wrong.
Ah, i think i misread the orignal post - concentrating on my own work

I think it would be ok warthog, just find out if your allergic to the antidepressants - maybe you can ask for a small sample and take just one dose, and see what happens before signing up to the study? They should be safe, but then everyone is differant.

Seems like an interesting study (but then anything using magnetic resonance imaging is...)
