In reply to PMDD and estrogen therapy?, posted by dusty rhoads on July 9, 2010, at 2:45:06
The liver's cytochrome P450 enzymes are involved in the production and breakdown of estrogen. Estrogen also inhibits CYP1A2, the same one inhibited by fluvoxamine. This also cause caffeine to be broken down at a slower rate. Yet other psyche drugs can induce certain CYP450 enzymes.
There must be a link somewhere between estrogen, the enzymes, and the neurotransmitters, but it would take some serious digging to find it.
