In reply to Strange but does seretonin prevent colds,flu?, posted by dreamer on January 21, 2001, at 11:24:29
I must say you all are lucky. I have been taking Prozac for the past few months and I just had a wicked cold that took two weeks to get over. I must agree with the ideas of depressions effect on weakening the immune system. Perhaps your immune system has just had the break it needed to keep you healthy and chase those "bugs" away.
Amy> I used to get alot of colds and flu being a smoker but since taking various SRI's i can't catch a cold in fact i havent had one for six years or more.Sometimes i think i need a good clear-out due to congestion caused by smoking.
> Is this healthy,does seretonin give me a super mega immune system,or am i so unhealthy that the virus just thinks no way i'm not going in there.
> Any feed back appreciated
