I share your concern.. Indeed SSRI's decrease DA activity by around 50% in the nigra striatal region.. This is The Parkinson's disease Area of the brain. Don't freak yourself out like I often do, but see the links below for some research into to matter. I posted the "SSRI'S AND PARKINSON's DISEAESE" thread earlier.. It hasn't gone very far though.. It is a scarry subject to touch and to my knowledge still only speculative.
