Hello everyone,
I have read many stories of people experiencing their drug not working anymore one day.
Today I came across this site: http://www.usaweightloss.com/overview.htm
It offers an explanation for this poop out feeling.quote:
"DRUGS DEPLETE
Make no mistake there is only one place the body gets the things it needs to build Serotonin and norepinephrine, from your food (or food supplements). Drugs used for neurotransmitter deficiency merely move neurotransmitters from one place to the next inside the nervous system effectively tricking the body into thinking it has more of the neurotransmitters serotonin and/or norepinephrine. The vary act of taking drugs which redistribute neurotransmitters, in the long run, can further deplete the neurotransmitter problem. Doctors for years have seen cases and heard stories of patients on antidepressants who initially did well and then one day literally woke up to find that the drugs were no longer working. Depletion was the problem."Hope this can be of help to some of you.
Take care,
Emmah
