Maybe low dose 5HT2C inhibition without accompanying 5HT1A increases serotonergic transmittion to the other receptors that aren't blocked? God I don't know.You've said it.. It WOULD be interesting to see if you'd do better when you add buspirone.
I have to admit that while on low dose Prozac, I had these moments that would normally be 'a little low', but now felt completely desperate and hopeless. It seemed to be related to the Prozac and buspirone combo. These moments were all short, but not pleasant.
In fact, while I was on this combo, I also took some amineptine every now and then, the unique French dopaminergic antidepressant. I had obtained it from someone who has it manufactured as a research substance by a laboratory - it was ridiculously expensive. It did give a pleasant dopaminergic boost, but also increased my anxiety one out of two times.
