Awesome reply. And I think you’re probably spot on with your analysis and assumptions. The body is very smart and is always looking to maintain homeostasis. I was just listening to a podcast with a guy that’s practiced psychiatry for 30+ years, and he was saying why antidepressants are so ineffective. He explained how SSRI’s, for example, increase circulating seratonin. So since there is more seratonin floating around, to compensate for this your body downregulates the amount of seratonin receptors. This leads to the person either needing to continually up their dose or try different medications to get the same desired effect.
