It;s time the psychopharmacologists got their intellectual heads out of the sand.
SSRI's have a very low success rate....TCA'a and MAOIs are much more successful.
We need more drugs that strike more neurotransmitters, both in agonistic and antagonistic ways....we will still have to use the 'old dart board' but, I think the aiming will be closer than with SSRI's, which i believe have many many downfalls...including horrendous withdrawal for a large subset of the psychiatric community...in a diition their is more evidence that morphological changes in receptors result from SSRI's....there's no evidence of this with the gold old drugs.
The only new drugs which I think are good are the new AP's.
