Sure...if you think about the connection between serotonin and melatonin, it makes perfect sense. Flooding your brain with serotonin offsets the natural balance of serotonin/melatonin--serotonin being produced during the day, melatonin at twlight). Plus, SSRI is a bit of a misnomer, all drugs in this class effect various neurotransmitter systems. Personally, I found Prozac to be much more stimulating than Parnate..
