I don't understand this: whenever you take drugs constantly for a prolonged period of time, you become tolerant. You need more to produce the same effect until eventually you need to take the drug to be normal. This happens with any intoxicant. So why not with antidepressants? Surely if you take something that increases your serotonin levels for a long time you will become tolerant and it will lower your serotonin levels. Can anyone explain this to me?
