Antidepressants usually don't modify levels of urinary neurotransmitter metabolites in ways that one might expect.
For instance, SSRI's can sometimes lower serotonin breakdown metabolites by preventing the reaborption and metabolism of serotonin.
They may, in fact increase brain serotonergic neurotransmission but in a way that make such tests nonsensicle.
