ET and depression: Et is not a contraindication to take anti depression medication . If your doctor thinks that you should be on ssri , from et-perspective , you should be fine it is not clear to me, however your statement regarding the serotonin and et . There is no relationship between et and serotonin. If your serum serotonin is elevated , your md should do a bit w/u to find out the cause of the elevation.
