Interesting. I wonder if tianeptine would a better choice for people who possess the s,s genotype for SERT.>>
it does suggest, doesn't it, that serotonin is the pathway to AD response.
i think better 5-HT1A agonists than buspirone have potential, too, unfortunately bringing these drugs to market is difficult despite their efficacy in animal studies. buspirone really seems like the least impressive of the lot, and I hope gepirone or something similar reaches US market in the near future.
i would recommend that you try gepirone ER if/when it reaches market, i feel comfortable with that recommendation of course only because it's not available now. both 5-HT1A agonists and tianeptine seem like ways of getting around 5-HT transporter-mediated treatment resistance (speaking generally). i think the makers of Remeron have done studies in this area too.
