In reply to question regarding neurotransmitters, posted by Kari on January 29, 2003, at 10:42:21
Marathon Man is exactly right. The role of neurotransmitters, how they are affected by antidepressants, and how the effect alters symptoms of depression are not yet well understood. There are in fact very good, safe and effective antidepressants on the market, but their utility was established by trial and error. Same goes for other drugs such as aspirin.
