Woops! Well, now I'm confused, because I was under the impression that while there is only one type of serotonin *reuptake pump*, it pumps out the Serotonin to many receptors (I was told this by a doc and have also seen pictures wherein a bunch of little Serotonin circles being released from one set of receptors into the synapses, then starting to binding to a corresponding bunch of receptors on the other side so to speak).
Which article that Sal cited cites evidence of what you said about the differing side-effects vs. the differing therapeutic effects? I would like to double check that one.
As for what you said about how it doesn't seem likely that a *non*-responder to one SSRI would respond to a different one, since their primary actions are the same, I know, have read and heard of MANY people (myself being one!) who have been NON-responder to one SSRI but DID indeed respond to another.
In my case, I did NOT respond to Zoloft, but DID respond very well for many years (till poop-out) to Paxil!! I know several people (member of the same family for what that might be worth) who were NON-responders to Prozac and Paxil, but DID respond to Zoloft!! Go figure!!
Again, what article did Sal cite that cited evidence mentioned above? Thanks.
