I don't have much to add to the technical discussion, as that's my weak point. I too, am extremely suspicious of the efficacy of SSRI's. Much-publicized recent research indicates that they may act primarily via the placebo effect. Objective observers have suspected that for a long time. They never did a thing for ME. Therefore, I was ripe to try tianeptine (obtained via the web from Europe), but I guess you could say the results were in line with the hypothesis that serotonin is a "socializing" neurotransmitter, for I became really cranky and aggressive.
