"My question was: in a post of yours you said that an excess of serotonin could be linked to my meds-induced introversion ... what did you make think so?"
Francesco, just have a look at the different things that have happened to you on SSRIs!
I'm not basing this on theory, I am just thinking that this is direct evidence we should leave your serotonergic neurons alone! ;-)
If classic ADHD is indeed your one and only root problem, then the target is first norepinepherine, and then *maybe* dopamine.

> Why these SSRIs would be so different for you boggles me. I cannot apply the same level of reasoning I have used previously in our discussion towards dissecting these effects. Goes to show how little is really known about how these drugs really do what they do in individual human beings.
