In reply to THIS is the study I was looking for !!!!, posted by linkadge on June 19, 2005, at 5:09:57
Actually, not all ADs decrease the responsiveness of the 5ht system. Tranylcypromine in normal doses (10-80mg/day) does not affect 5ht2 receptors in this way, but in high doses (approx 90-120mg/day up to 200mg/day), it does. I do not think bupropion affects 5ht2 receptors, either. If I am wrong here, please cite sources to the contrary.
One ubiquitous indicator of an AD effect is downregulation of beta adrenoreceptors.
