FINALLY someone is looking at this.
seriously the 2+ week wait for AD's, there's something they haven't figured out yet...If serotonin was directly underlying the antidepressant effects of Prozac, then the very first day you take Prozac you should feel the effects, because thats what its targeting immediately, she says. The fact that it takes so long for the drug to work makes me think that the immediate effect of the drug itself is not having an antidepressant effect. When you have the drug in your system for a long time, the brain adapts, and the adaptation might actually be what is underlying the antidepressant effects of these drugs.
