Benzini, you are soooo right in re: to the dopamine connection -I know it is much more complicated than this...bot from what I understand ---SE increase somehow downregulates DA function.... just a theory but I think that is whay MAO's are usually so effective in relieving depression and anxiety - especially atypical- depression at that; because Nardil for one effects all three mono-amines or catecholemines being Dopamine, Serotonin, as Well as Norepinerine -unfortunately these meds usually have some of the worst side effect profiles-I Realize that part of my previous "PSYCHO BABBLE" POST was just that:QUITE A BIT OF "BABBLE' LOL, but hey I think some of it made sense!
See ya
