Its funny how SSRIs were created using rational drug creation methods, thinking antagonizing less receptors would be a good idea. Now it turns out many are better off when the 5 HT2A, 5HT2C, 5HT3, 5HT6, and 5HT7 receptors are blocked and only the 5HT1A and 5HT4 receptors agonised.
Post-SSRI syndrome: iatrogenic anhedonia, memory and concentration problems, sexual dysfunction. [NOTE no sadness or anxiety, this is NOT depression!]
