Yes, certainly. Especially the serotonin transporter is interesting. But a poor serotonin transporter would mean you don't need a med that inhibits the transporter since it's working poorly already. But an SNRI would indeed be better than an SSRI.

I'd suggest supplementation with tryptophan or 5-H-tryptophan (5-HTP). You need more serotonin than most.

And it could indeed explain why an SNRI/SSRI has less effect and thus can be used.
