I think that our different reactions to SSRI's are due to our own level of serotonin. If our anxiety or depression isn't caused by our body's ability to regulate our levels then the additional SSRI will send it into overdrive. For instance a lot of serotonin is made in our bowel so by adding extra serotonin into our mix this can cause really loose motions and nausea. Some people have much better results on an SNRI but I guess it does depend on why we are experiencing anxiety etc. It's an interesting subject.

I found this when trying to find articles on IBS http://www.healthline.com/health/irritable-bowel-syndrome/serotonin-effects#1  Maybe I should put it into a separate thread too as IBS seems to affect lots of us?

   Taz - starting another thread will help!

Interesting about the serotonin ……… my GP would never discuss what was likely to be causing my depression, I have it on both sides of the family so was 'pre-disposed' apparently ! I would like to know which part of my body is upsetting my brain
