In reply to Re: Which antidepressant is right for you?, posted by torenada on February 7, 2002, at 21:05:40

I will ask somebody which antidepressant is working for them if my symptoms resemble their own. I have atypical depression and when I read someone's post who also has atypical depression, I will ask what has worked for them. I think most individuals on the board are very intellgent and informed and do not blindly ask anyone which drug they should take. Most people on the board have tried all the conventional meds and need advice on experimental meds.

We know of about 10 out of a total of 200 neurotransmitters in the human brain. I don't think we can assume that current antidepressants work just on dopamine, serotonin and norepinephrine. It is more likely they work on one or more of the 190 neurotransmitters we don't know about .... even more likely that neurotransmitters have nothing to do with the antidepressant response and that it is some second messanger/RNA transcription effect responsible.
