    Serotonin Antagonists Extend Lifespan, SSRI Dramatically Shorten It

    This study looked specifically at mianserin, but did compare it to other drugs (including cyproheptadine). The conclusion was that mianserin and cyproheptadine extend lifespan by up to 30% by mimicking the effects of caloric restriction. Interestingly, mianserin increases appetite just like...

    Ssri (sertraline) And Coronary Artery Atherosclerosis

    "Our findings suggest that long-term treatment with this drug promotes coronary artery atherosclerosis in non-human primates," Shively said.

    Many psychiatric drugs are useless, cause learned helplessness

    The article starts with focusing on anti-psychotic drugs but then switches to criticize virtually all psychiatric drugs.

    Ssri Drugs Are Estrogenic And Cause Breast Cancer

    Another article confirming Ray's views of the tight connection between serotonin and estrogen. I was surprised to see this in mainstream media but I guess the truth is slowly coming out. On the flip side, the article states that FDA recently approved "low dose" SSRI drugs for treating hot...
