No drug user will admit that a drug is dammaging their brain. They'll excuse it by saying "everything dammages your brain", or thats just anti-drug propaganda, or even I know "thousands of people who are fine"
If a drug dammages 5-ht neurons, it does not descriminated between people. Perhaps your friends were rather euphoric to begin with, ie they had plenty of 5ht neurons to at the start.
Another thing to remeber, you don't have to be depressed after suffering 5ht neurotoxisity. It could manifest itself in other ways: ie increased irritability, less deep sleep, more anxiety, inability to experience the same level of joy - all sorts of things.For goodness sake - whats done is done, but stop the drug before you cause more dammage.
Its just like saying - "Yeah I smoke, I don't have lung cancer" but tobbaco smoke does not descriminate, it will dammage the lung lining so you can't breath properly, it will clog your arteries etc etc.
