I guess if that worked for them, good for them. But it seems only slightly better than a lateral move. If someone wants to aim higher with their goals (such as being clear-headed and not dependant on chemicals), it is disingenuous to suggest that substituting one drug for another is a good way to achieve this.
This is no slight to your friend though. If they improved their life, good for them.

Certain serotonin deficiencies can be treated as well, better than SSRI that destroy the brain. But, research and precautions must be made which is why it's going under clinical trials to find out what's safe.
