Dear Mike,

I am trying to catch up on my emails and just got to this one from you from a

month ago. Can you refer me to any of these articles that you mention that

talk about seratonin? I am interested in learning more about these

antidepressants and the nature of and importance of seratonin in our brains.

I'm also interested in the side effects of SRIs.

Thanks,

Cindy

I think there is some confusion here.

Zoloft (Sertraline) belongs to a group of medicines known as selective

serotonin reuptake inhibitors

(SSRIs). These medicines are thought to work by increasing the activity of

the chemical serotonin

in the brain.

Zoloft is not serotonin itself, it helps the brain produce needed chemicals

(and may actually increase dopamine production in some brain areas). Many

people with MSA do take Zoloft.

Take care, Bill Werre
