Does SSRI's (anti-depressants) lower test levels?

Hey great stuff guys, very, very impressive knowledge, awesome links too.
I think its worth mentioning that SSRI's do stress the liver. This in and of itself could cause a small reduction in T-Levels too. I heard that alcholol stresses the liver to the point that estrogen is not broken down - thus causing bitch tits. Could this be the case with SSRI's too?

I would guess, that yes, this could be the case to some degree. I mean, SSRI's are taxing on the liver-good point. The point about (excessive) alcohol use resulting in the inability to break down estrogen-thus causing gyno, is also a good point. SSRI"s, taken long-term, without drug holidays (essentially cycling but not to the degree that the term implies to us bb'ers) and in increasing dosages over time to counteract tolerance (correct me if I'm wrong about that) would definitely be stressful on the liver, and so the enzymes needed to break down estrogen would be compromised. I wonder if there is any relevant research that could shed light on this?
