> HI Marley,
> Actually that is what I meant--that is, that "normal" is defined on the level of neurotransmitter action. It is like the little workpeople in our brain that regulate the brain say "hey, that's what my instructions (from the DNA) said--this IS how the brain should be--I'm only following instructions." And when you alter the balance of neurotransmitters, the little workmen work to readjust the system to again correclty meet the requirements as stated in the DNA--this to them then is the "normal" state.

I'm with you. I had found it really interesting when you made that observation in your first post, too, because I'd noticed the same thing but had never read about anyone else experiencing it before. That's why I think that doctors who make it sounds like taking an antidepressant is a straightforward solution to the neurotransmitter-deficit problem and depression don't have a true appreciation of the nature of the problem they're dealing with; that the medication is affecting a dynamic equilibrium.
Best,
Marley
