> Over time certain people that are sensitive to this effect, SSRI's and other reuptake inhibitors, direct agonists and I believe MAOI's as well stimulate the presynaptic receptors (which act somewhat like a thermostat for neuron synthesis) but as the ssri increases the stimulation, serotonin synthesis and release will decrease. Making less serotonin available for the reuptake.
>Well I messed up on that last step. But this is what they do when inhibiting synthesis. You had a pretty good idea about it in your first post on this.
I have much the same problem as you. And after trying various meds over the years to try fixing my problem, I have gotten a pretty good idea on what's going on up there.
