Actually SSRIs do downregulate serotonin receptors when used daily for long periods of time. Besides, I've plenty of experience with other drugs of abuse, namely benzos. I used to have a major Klonopin habit taking as much as 20mg/day at one point. I've now been benzo free for nine months and am pretty much at the point I was before starting benzos. It seems the receptors usually recover once the drug has been withdrawn. It's the same for opiates.
