In reply to SSRIS and fatigue, posted by matthhhh on August 9, 2003, at 14:33:03
I have been told that there are MANY different Serotonin receptors in the brain, hence why one a-d works for one person and not another (person A might need to hit certain Serotonin receptors that let's say Prozac acts on, while Person B might need to hit other Serotonin receptors that let's say Paxil but not Prozac acts on) -- at least this is how it was explained to me.
What I'm getting at is that the SSRI's may be hitting receptors that are also involved in fatigue whereas if Ecstasy also hits Serotonin receptors (I know NOTHING about this), it may be hitting ones that are not involved in fatigue; perhaps there are even Serotonin receptors that are involved in activity or whatever the opposite of fatigue would be! Just my humble opinion/guess.
