- tylermac1 4y agoAlso anecdotal, but everyone metabolizes these classes of drugs differently. I'm an "ultra-rapid metabolizer" of a slew of SSRIs, so they're next to worthless for me compared to other medications.
- lhuser123 4y agoAlso anecdotal. And some people are ultra-slow metabolizers, which can cause the drugs to stay in the body longer than anyone could have anticipated. So the effects of 1 pill daily can feel like twice that amount since previous day dosis is still in the blood.
