> ~ jimO my goodness, Jimi. I read the link.That makes so much sense to me. My daughter has the same condition (GAD) as I and has been on SSRI Celexa for about a year. It has helped somewhat, but she recently became pregnant whilst on the SSRI and shortly after discovery (to the sadness of us all) miscarried. I'm sure my thought about serotonin levels negatively affecting anandamide levels has merit. Possibly, low anandamide levels, caused by the serotonin action of Celexa, could have prevented the embryo from properly implanting!!!! Fortunately for me,my SSRI use was long after childbearing and I carried my children to term wiithout a problem. My hormonal problems are from the other end of the spectrum...perimenopause. Thanks for the link, maybe my daughter should try a different (and non-serotonergic) drug when she tries to conceive again. What does everyone think about this aspect???
PS.Does this mean I should tell her to start smoking pot:)??
