Some researchers concluded that there was insufficant agonismt at cardiac 5-ht2b for SSRI's to pose a risk. They said that fenfuramine was a more potent agonist here. That being said though, fenfluramine caused dammage ina very short period of time. Isn't it possable that weaker serotonergic agonism at this receptor might not cause similar problems long down the road?
Since we have basically concluded that depression has little/nothing to do with sertonin reuptake.
If serotonin isn't working properly it is via different mechanism.
