prozac/effexor=dendrite shrinkage?

Posted by reb on November 13, 2002, at 23:30:56

hello all,
i recently heard (from a pharmacist of all people!) that researchers have found that the long-term effects of prozac use was DENDRITE SHRINKAGE... and that it was only intended for short-term use. (scary, huh?)
so, i was wondering if anyone else has heard this or if there is any truth to this. if so, i also wanted to know if the same could be true with effexor- which is what i take- (or other SSRI's)--???
kind of hard to justify taking something for depression- that could cause permanent brain damage in the future, leading to more depression... hhhmmmmm......

i'm trying to be optimisitc & trusting of the pharmaceutical industry, but it's kinda hard when the public has been made into guinea pigs and LIED TO so many times before....

i just want the TRUTH so i can make an informed decision.

any info is appreciated. THANKS!
