>Some researchers concluded that there was insufficient 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?
I don't know. I'm tempted to say the drug companies would have a good idea of this and would be taking steps to keep us safe..............then I look at Eli Lily and Zyprexa and get a little shiver.
