In reply to Re: is depression more about dopamine or serotonin?, posted by linkadge on October 29, 2004, at 11:00:28
I wonder how a drug like Tianeptine works. It enhances the reuptake of serotonin, working in the opposite way to the ssris.
Makes me wonder if depression and anxiety may be more about regulation and balance rather than excess/deficiency of neurotransmitters.
This would explain why it can take weeks before you feel better. It may also explain why you can have drastically different dosages between patients and have a similar outcome. The dosage you take may just act to reset your balance.
What sits above the levels of serotonin, dopamine and NA in the chain of command. What is the fat controller(s)??
