Do the SSRI's PERMANANTLY alter your brain?

Posted by Janelle on June 24, 2001, at 15:40:58

I'm so confused now, having read in two sources that the SSRI's "trick" your brain into thinking it has more serotonin and/or norepinephrine, so the brain may "stop" producing it, leading to depletion. Does anyone know if this is PERMANENT? I don't want to be on the med(s) for the rest of my life if I can get well, but I fear that by having been on them so long, my brain has been "permanently" altered or damaged with the serotonin stuff - anyone with info, please respond. Thanks!
