    COVID-19 is a serotonin-dependent disease

    As the COVID-19 pandemic spread all over the world in early 2020, some of the earliest studies identified serotonin (5-HT) as a culprit in the severity of the disease and proposed using 5-HT antagonists such as cyproheptadine as treatment. Other studies found by accident that the anti-acid drug...

    Progesterone, bromocriptine may treat autism

    A great new study, which, while genomic in character, inadvertently points the finger directly at estrogen and/or serotonin as causes of autism. After all progesterone's main role in the human organism is as an estrogen (and cortisol!) antagonist, while bromocriptine is one of the oldest...

    Serotonin enhances learning from punishment, reduces learning from reward

    Research as early as the 1960s firmly established that there is nothing "happy" when it comes to serotonin (5-HT). Namely, elevated 5-HT levels were found in many chronic diseases and especially clinical depression. It took more than 7 decades for medicine to finally start admitting that 5-HT is...

    Does Theanine actually agonize GABA receptors / increase GABA? +Serotonin

    I've seen some people concerned with GABA rebound effects from l-theanine due to effects on increasing GABA. Theanine is commonly mentioned as a gaba agonist. 1. Does it actually have significant effects on GABA that would lead to rebound? 2. Would a daily gram amounts be safe for potential...

    SSRI use during pregnancy increase risk of neonatal seizures/epilepsy

    So much for "safe and effective during pregnancy"...I shudder at the thought of how many women get talked into using SSRI during pregnancy without even having depression. You know, just in case they MIGHT get postpartum depression. https://n.neurology.org/content/neurology/98/23/e2329.full.pdf...

    Aspirin Cause Antiserotonine Effect Only At Low Doses (My Vision of the Non-Linear Dose-Dependent Antiserotonin Effect of Aspirin)

    Dear peats! As you all know, serotonin has a direct aggregative coagulant effect through the 5-ht2 family of receptors. And so, aspirin has the strongest antiplatelet effect at doses below 325 mg. We also know that aspirin has the most potent beneficial effect on tyrosine hydroxylase at a...

    BOMBSHELL: Serotonin High in Depression, Not a "Happy" Chemical, Lowers Energy, Depression Self-Resolves

    When I first saw the article pop up in my feed, I could hardly believe my eyes that a mainstream mouthpiece of Big Pharma will publish such frank admission of psychiatry's utter failure - i.e. the claims in regards to serotonin (5-HT), its role in mental illness, and even its social "label".

    Just a week-long break from social media alleviates anxiety and depression

    I don't think this study will come as a surprise to my readers, but it still helps to have some peer-reviewed evidence confirming what many people intuitively sense, yet are afraid to verbalize due to FOMO or being ostracized - i.e. social media, and digitization in general, is a bane on human...

    Dopamine agonists can treat anhedonia

    What number do you aim for when you test blood serotonin?

    I've been testing blood serotonin occasionally. Six months ago I was at 199 ng/mL. The lab range is 21-321. Two weeks ago I tested 148. The main differences I introduced were taking fewer oral supplements, and eating 1/3 a cup of oat bran every morning which has been really helpful for bowel...
