Ok so suppose the NET transporter lowers itself to compensate for a deficiancy of norepinephrine. Then still, the pathelogical condition is not an abnormality in NET but rather an abnormality in norepinephrine availabilty.
Ie, I cant see how taking these depressed patients who's brains respond to low norepinephrine by decreasing NET, and exposing them to a drug that decreases it further, is going to remedy the situation, or make their brains function more like the contol brains.
