OK, I'm going to be straight with you all, I really don't know how most anti-depressants work. But for the most part, they all work with serotinin, whether it's the re-uptake, or absorption, or another part of the process.
Let's say the rave drug Ecstasy causes depression after prolonged over-use because it destroys serotonin receptors themselves.
I think this much is true. That said, is there an anti-depressant that would be the most effective to someone who did too much E, and now needs as much serotonin as they can get? In other words, which of the anti's has the most 'appropriate' serotonin-based function to deal with depression caused thusly.
This is hypothetical ... I've done E before, but I don't think I screwed my brain up too much. However, I do think I might have been depressed anyway.
Thanks for the help,
MD
