Are SSRI drugs a bad idea in the long run

Posted by Robert Fairburn on October 26, 2003, at 6:56:25

I was reading an article which stated, that one of the reasons why ssri drugs poop out is that by stopping reuptake it allows serotinon to remain the synaptic cleft and hence they have longer contact with MAO and hence more serotinon gets destroyed. Eventually this process leaves the person so deficient in serotinon that the SSRI drugs has nothing to work with. Hence we have poop out syndrome
The opposite happens with MAOI drugs which helps builds up neurotramsmitter levels and hence doesn't suffer poop out syndrome. Some of our MAOI fans out there have been on them for 20 years plus. Ive never heard some one being on a SSRI drug that long and it still works. Maybee our friend ACE is correct about his out and out love for nardil.
Im not saying that SSRI drugs have no use but there basic design preset is flawed and in the long term they have problems
Okay you chemists out there please respond
Regards Robert
