I just found out this interesting fact about cocaine:
>Cocaine acts by inhibiting the reuptake of serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cocaine
That's pretty similar to antidepressants right? SSRIs inhibit the reuptake of serotonin, and SNRIs inhibit the reuptake of both serotonin and norepinephrine.
Does that mean that taking antidepressants every day is actually not that different to taking a bit of coke every day?
>But dopamine! Antidepressants don't affect dopamine in the brain.
Minor difference. The point is, both are happy pills, right?
