I think that when God was handing out Serotonin I was standing behind the door.
Seriously, though, I have this theory that my body will only allow so much Serotonin in my brain (let's say a teaspoon). So, if I take something that inhibits reuptake, my body will eventually catch on, and go about reducing the amount back to a tsp. So, no matter what I do med-wise my body can regulate me back into depression.
I know what ya'll said about 3 and 10, and I guess an infinite number of possible interactions of all neurotransmitters et.al., and I don't know that Serotonin is one of the baddies for me. But, I sort of think my theory could be true (if it were Serotonin). That would at least explain my poop-out experiences.
Are people measuring the amounts of Serotonin, Dopamine, etc. in the brain?
(I know how scientists love theories based on anecdotal evidence with an n=1.)
