From what I've read and talked to people who take these, SSRI's are doing exactly that. I realize that it's not very scientific nor wise for me to state this but - screw that, I'll take my swings over taking serotonin inhibitors or any other form of flattening my psyche (I realize it's subjective and does not work like that for everybody) The very thought of being completely content and being completely at peace scares me and makes me mad at the same time - and I like it like that. I like my hate, I like my fear, I like my love and I like my swings - they all make me whole. I guess that means that I can be at peace with myself without getting rid of my hate or being completely content all the time...which brings me to my original thought - inner peace is subjective, not illusive like dimreepr suggests.
