> when ssri's first came out starting with prozac, scientists believed they only affected serotonin and no other neurotransmitters....many of the side effects, esp. sexual side effects, are now seen as a depletion or reduction in dopamine due to the rise of serotonin.
How about Parkinsons due to dopamine depletion over long-term...Now that's a scary prospect...
