RE: Brain myths and neurotransmitters
A very good article!
This may also explain the pharmacokinetic effects that cause drugs from different manufacturers with the same main ingredients to act differently. Especially in the field of antidepressants there are very strange effects. Some patients are more responsive to the original product, while others are much more responsive to a generic medicine. Generics? In Germany, there is a promotional jingle with the question in the pharmacy: "... or is there something from Ratiopharm".
The secret is the so-called carriers, ie the substances that are to transport the main active ingredient. What is rather simple with aspirin becomes a lottery game with psychotropic drugs, because the carriers are not given anywhere.
Just my 2 cents.

There is still much we don't know about how some molecules can get into the brain, surely there seems to be a lot of different responses in patients for the same drug, this also highlight the current limitation of administering drugs with standard doses for all patients, custom dosing would be optimal
