There is the "receptor site" downregulation hypothesis, which states that mood improvement only occurs after downregulation of postsynaptic serotonin and norepinephrine receptors.
If this is true, then acute changes in monoamine levels will have very little if any effect on mood.
The changes in receptor sites might correlate to changes in NMDA receptor function.
