more serotonine = more sedation/tiredness ?!

Posted by ben on May 13, 2002, at 6:38:00

I was on Celexa, Paxil and Zoloft and each of these SSRIs made me more sedated/ tired the higher the dose. Paxil was most sedating of the three and initially they made me all tired except Zoloft (agitation).
I heard from a lot of others reacting the same way. Of course there many who get agitated instead of tired. (esp. the first two weeks a lot of us are getting nervous, agitated and anxious). Some can sleep on SSRIs very well and others cant.
And why do the SSRIs can cause "blahness" (carrying about nothing) or increased yawning ?

Is there any theory or explanation to that phenomenas (except that we all react different) ? I think the more serotonin, the more sedation/tiredness is experienced (doesnt serotonin syndrom causes exhaustion.......somnolence up to loss of awearness ?)
