These guys say antidepressants also downregulate beta-1 Sci-Hub | Treatment with antidepressants and down regulation of beta-adrenergic receptors. Drug Development Research, 3(5), 393–406 | 10.1002/ddr.430030502
Among these pharmacological actions of antidepressant drugs, down regulation of beta-adrenergic receptors after chronic, but not acute, treatment is of particular interest.

Althought these guys A Pilot Study of the Pharmacodynamic Impact of SSRI Drug Selection and Beta-1 Receptor Genotype (ADRB1) on Cardiac Vital Signs in Depressed Patients: A Novel Pharmacogenetic Approach say SSRI has beta blocking action, which I would assume to upregulate beta-1 receptors.

Maybe the first study is wrong?

Also alpha-1 is involved in sodium reabsorbtion by the kidneys Alpha-1 adrenergic receptor - Wikipedia, maybe that could explain my huge sodium loss?

Also beta-1 upregulation might be involved in post SSRI hypertension I guess

@barbaar No , you are losing sodium, since progesterone is HIGH. and it is wasting sodium and retaining potassium. thus potassium is low in the urine, and sodium is high
