What about drugs like Zoloft that at higher dosages 100 and up have significant dopamine activity. I guess those would be a problem as well.
Ok, so I had written a nice 4 paragragh explanation tying in SSRI's, dopamine agonists, cocaine, receptors and all this fancy talk and my computer shut down, so in my retyping Im going to be very short and sweet.
Basically what I was saying in my post was ssri's like zoloft (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors) and DRI's like cocaine (dopamine reuptake inhibitor) do not have the possibility to cause long term damage to their respective neurotransmitters nearly to the degree that serotonin agonists (MDMA) and dopamine agonists do (prami, caber) because of the way they work in the brain.
Reuptake inhibitors increase levels of neurotransmitters by keeping them from being "eaten up" so to speak by the body, so their respective receptors arnt dealing with superphysilogical levels which leads to downregulation and death.
This is why you don't see cell death with long term SSRI treatment which is the go to for a lot of practitioners. The body's serotonin level is essentially the same, it just stays active in the important parts of the brain much longer.
Agonists (think triggers release of) flood the brain with superphysilogical levels of dopamine and thats were the danger occurs in regards to downregulation and death.
My first explanation was a lot more thought out and clear, im in a rush if you have any questions let me know
