I was interested to read that all SSRI's and some other AD's, including imipramine, render D2 receptors supersensitive after chronic use.
That said, another study shows that CBT alone also has this effect, so perhaps it's an adaptive mechanism of the brain when recovering from depression rather than being caused by the meds themselves.
So do you think "upping" the dopamine with supersensitive receptors should be ok d/r?
