Thanks Elizabeth. I'd read all of that in different places before, but your explanation was more coherent and succinct than the one I had in my head. :)
Still, I wish there were more info on the pharmacodynamic nature of fluoxetine besides 5HT/NE reuptake inhibition. Some seem to think it also agonizes the 5HT-2C receptor. Can you hypothesize about the consequences of that? My understanding is that it might be the cause of Prozac's energizing and (acute, anyway) appetite supressant effects.
