If I remember correctly this study was
done with Fluxotine at doses 100 x the
standard human dose. When Lilly was questioned
they responded that this study concluded
nothing as the doses were far above the
average dose.Lets put things into perspective. Some people
are depressed and refuse to take antidepressants
because they believe they are evil or mind
controlling or something. The truth is
that untreated depression does FAR more dammage
to the brain than any of the current antidepressants do. Elevated cortisol from
stress destroys neural connections in the
seritogenic and dopamanergic areas of the brain,
not to mention the reduced hippocampal volume.Studies have shown many things such as. How
antidepresants improve the quality of people's
lives, how they reduce physical illness from
elevated stress, and how they can even extend
ones life. This study is far from conclusive
about anythingLinkadge
