Thats exactly it. Its all fine and dandy to say that the drugs are safe, but a drug company doesn't need to check to see that it's drug is not corkscrewing people's receptors after 10 years of use.
Serotonin abnormalities have not been conclisively shown in the depressed population, and clinically effective antidepressants like Tianeptine only serve to complicate the debate.So, we tweek a chemical higher that it was ever meant to be, and you end up with people like me,
who are basically perma-depressed, and will probably stay that way for a long time.
We ignore this information because it is depressing, but what is more depressing is the prospect that we ignore this information and get worse.
