Phillipa, 90 to 95% of seratonin going to the gut makes sense. I expect that's why it turned my belly into an acid factory! The reflux on Zoloft and Lexapro was terrible, some of the worst I've ever experienced, and that's saying something.

I guess I have very minor depression and it mainly comes from being in a constant state of generalized anxiety. But anxiety is definitely my primary issue, and has been for years, so it's stable this way. The minor depression surely flows from feeling beat up by anxiety. Benzos help but they do make me a tad tired. Plus, as everyone knows, they're really "band aid" treatments. They hide the symptoms rather than allowing you to address the root causes via CBT and exposure and such. I think!
