In reply to Important questions regarding hippocampal damage.., posted by Questionmark on April 9, 2003, at 0:37:12
You have raised an extremely important question about the effects of various AD's themselves on the hippocampal neurons. I don't know as much about this as you do, as I haven't yet come across any articles about it; all the same, it is a concern which I share. The degree of both side effects and withdrawal symptoms from some ADs, particularly in the SSRI group, but also including the SNRIs, make me very uneasy as to whether they are causing harm in the long run.
Not having a more definite answer, I tend to rely on the reports of people here on PB who rely on fish oil, exercise, meditation, etc. plus SMALL doses of ADs and sometimes benzos- often their dosages are considerably beow what would be considered therapeutic, but this seems to be a group in which treatment satisfaction is quite high. Have you noticed this also?
