"WHAT DO they DO that helps ocd/dep????? IS there an answer"
Unfortunately, no... there is no definite answer.
There is some data, for instance responders to ADs usually show heightened senstivity of D3 receptors, lowered senstivity at 5-HT2 and 5-HT3 receptors, etc.>>>>>>>>>>>>>Great to see you back here again Caleb! As for the above.....it's been the SSRI's and Nardil...those AD's, that have been most effective BY FAR for my dep and esp. ocd....other AD's didn't cut it....and don't the ssri's and Nardil have more of an effect on serotonin than the older TCA's?......I don't know but I thought they effected serotonin more (which was why I thought serotonin 'might' be key for ME (though I still believe that it's FAR MORE complex than just that....I know the brain is INCREDIBLY complex and w/ endless interactions going on in it....but the ssri's especially & Nardil also, help SO WELL that I wonder WHY they help so much better than other AD's? Just wondering....take care Caleb!!!
