Hey there!
> I've often wondered what are the effects of raising 5HT levels in all areas of the brain. we already know that it dramatically changes sleep arcitecture.
It really really really does. When I was on celexa (straight) I had to sleep all the time. And I was soooo apathic! Actually, I'm quite bitter about it all, I feel as if I wasted a year of my life on the stuff and all I was was a zombie. Eating, sleeping and going to work, was all I could do.
Now, off the stuff since summer (and only taking one st john's wort pill a day) I can not believe how much more energy and motivation I have!! I feel much better off the stuff that I did on it!
I have vowed now not to take any 'proper' pysch drugs, unless I am completely gone. The side effects of the SSRIs are pretty bad (at least to me) and they don't really work (for me again also).I seriously don't think SSRIs are all they are cracked up to be.
