In reply to Re: Any more studies done on SSRI/corscrew recepto, posted by ian34 on March 28, 2006, at 22:39:28
I did not link drugawareness.org.
The study done which showed that SSRI's caused corkscrewed/shriveled receptors was *not* done by an antimedication organization. This study was fairly mainstream actually, you can find it posted on other reputable sites by googling it.
I understand that SSRI's and MDMA are different drugs, but the study is suggesting that they can impact serotonergic neurons in a similar way. I was a unsubstantiated beleif, that only serotonin releasers like MDMA were capable of such issues.
Admittedly, the dose was high. But, these changes were noted (I believe) at as little as 10x an equivilant human dose, after only 4 days.
The point being, that it is probably advantagious for follow-up studies to clarify the effects.
