> It has long been counseled by psychopharmacologists to avoid "pulsing" antidepressants so as to prevent non-response. This recommendation has been given since the age of the tricyclics. If one were to take at face value the reports of people posting on psychobabble, this phenomenon of non-response upon re-exposure to a previously effective drug is fairly common.

This "pulsing" -- could it be like the
"refractory" period in nerves? For example,
your eyes do not react to light the same
after exposure to very bright lights; the same
with some other stimulating experiences of the
body.Squiggles
