Does this means I have untreatable Major Depression to look forward to because my brain will gradually downregulate my receptors to compensate for over abondance of serotonin produced by the medication? Or in my case would it be a severe case of what I have now? Can this happen at the dosage I'm taking? Has this phenomenon been proven? Pretty scary.

I havent researched it much for when this problem is caused by serotonin increasing meds.
In my situation I have been looking in to meds tht disinhibit dopamine release. It seemeds tht Mirapex gave me an abundance of dopamine stimulation that was unnatural.
There are certain receptors that work to inhibit dopasmine, such as the serotonin 2C receptor. I believe this is why Cyproheptadine helped me so much.

I'm unsure about whast receptors in the brain work to inhibit serotonin release, maybe someone on here has more knowledge in this.
