in terms of the ssris, perhaps celexa(citalopram) is the only one in the class that doesn't downregulate the NE beta autoreceptors to a great extent. I'm guessing this is b/c celexa has the purest serotonergic effect of all the ssri's. And this is why the study cited earlier found that citalopram was the only one whose antidepressant effect wasn't fully vanquished by disruption of the NE pathway.


i know luvox (fluvoxamine) does downregulate the NE autoreceptors though...
