Thanks for confirming that there ARE many, many serotonin reuptake pumps in the brain ... so now am I right that the different *brands* of SSRI's (e.g. Prozac, Zoloft, Paxil, Celexa, etc.) target DIFFERENT pumps?
And this could be why one of the SSRI's, let's say Prozac, will benefit Person A but not Person B because Person A needs the pumps affected by Prozac, whereas Person B needs the pumps that are affected by one of the other SSRI's? I hope I'm making this clear?!
