ssris usually increase the responsibility of d3-receptors.
maybe these dopamine receptors are actually responsible for this nasty side reaction of many antidepressants.
about 8 years ago i went clubbing on Effexor and alcohol about 10 times, which made me very high, but i used to get the hugest yawns on it for hours, so i stopped taking that combo.
about 6 years ago i took 40mg of prozac once a month for 3 years (postloading after MDMA) and it made me yawn ALOT, and even though i have had NO ssri's the last 3 years, i STILL yawn so much, probably about 50-100 times a day. I also have very high seratonin levels nowadays. i think my brain was re-wired by the SSRI's.
it is good having lots of seratonin, cause i am very happy and relaxed person most of the time, but i yawn so much that my throat muscles get very tight, so makes my head naturally lean forward alot, so it puts strain on my neck muscles, so i have constant sore neck muscles.
opiates and amphetamine stop me yawning, but i do not want to take those every day.
(if i WALK i yawn - so a one hour walk is about 20-30 yawns)
i would love a drug that stopped me yawning !
