It all depends on the person taking it. its basically the same as when someone is more vulnerable to a certain side effect than someone else. Use of, and especially chronic use of any psychiatric med requires caution. Even 60 years after MAOI's were put on the market, the way we manipulate the brain is still in its infancy. much of todays thinking on how people are effected will be "put out to pasture" in the future, thanks to knew ways to study and manipulate the brain. my favorite technology is called "Optogenetics". but it will be at least 10 years before it is even considered to be used on humans.
