Bad Science on serotonin

[pozorvlak]

It seems the link between depression and serotonin levels is far less proven than generally assumed. More here.

This doesn't surprise me. I know from personal experience that SSRIs don't work for me. My experience with them was awful- all of the side effects, NONE of the supposed benefits. It didn't help even *one little bit*, unless you want to count being too numb, too sleep deprived (insomnia side effect) and too exhausted (from lack of sleep)to feel much of anything.

Bad science is fantastic. I have been reading religiously for a while. The archives are also huge amounts of fun, esp if you navigate using the tags.
