linkage - good point. forgot to mention the amphetamine's and their substantially long-prescribed time-frame. i agree all is about the test of time. also drugs approved with quite minimal testing. that disturbs me greatly!
re: prozac- again it 's never pooped out on me or lost it's efficacy. i just can no longer tolerate even it's GI side-effects, they never go way now, over and increasingly, the last 3 yrs. they were formerly the least harmful to me and went away within 2 wks.yes, laima, i well know about the scads of serotonin receptors in the gut. that's primarily what i've been talking about re: my own gut problems. as soon as i quit ads or combos of ads....or, for that matter, also, stabilizers - when i've had them as part of a cocktail - or seroquel or trazadone for sleep, or, finally, any of the prescription sleep aids, my stomach problems completely disappear. that's more than enough proof for me. someone posted awhile back that if you have depression plus GI troubles, you are basically s*rewed! i couldn't agree more. i'm always surprised i don't see it posted about more here at pb, because my therapist has had not one client with mdd who also doesn't have some degree & form of ibs. not one. perhaps the few posts are because it can be an embarrassing and sickening topic.
linkage, as a former connoisseur of cocaine, i can tell you that prozac's not a teensy bit like a long-lasting cocaine, serotonin more involved than dopamine in cocaine or not.
