    Blocking serotonin (5-HT) stops withdrawal symptoms in addicts

    The role of 5-HT and other stress mediators such as cortisol, adrenaline, estrogen, prolactin, histamine, etc has long been suspected in both "addiction" and the withdrawal symptoms seen in virtually all "addicts" upon abstinence. The anti-adrenaline (and anti-cortisol) drug clonidine has been...

    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...

    Maternal SSRI/SNRI use leads to offspring addiction/withdrawal

    After being told for decades that SSRI/SNRI drugs are safe for usage during pregnancy, now the truth finally starts to come out. Well, technically it has been out for a long time considering the skyrocketing autism rates and the strong causal link between serotonin and autism. However, up until...

    Feverfew/Silk Tree as Replacement for Cypro/Meter

    What are your guys's thoughts about this? I can't use metergoline as an anti-serotonin supp because when I stop I get horrific symptroms of DAWS. Cypro is okay, but I don't like the dopamine receptor antagonizing effects and I am also finding it very hard to stop. Any time I stop the cypro, I...

    Endotoxin (LPS) Can Trigger Social Withdrawal / Isolation

    If you talk to a doctor about endotoxin (LPS), he/she will most likely give you a blank stare as this topic is very rarely covered in medical schools and the little coverage it gets simply states that endotoxin is never an issue in most people as the liver will quickly deactivate it. Yet, what...

    Antidepressants Are Physically Addictive, Should Not Be Taken Long-term

    What is surprising about this study is not that antidepressant drugs are addictive. We have known this (despite the vehement denials from pharma executives) even way back before those drugs got approved for human use. What is surprising in this study is that for the first time there is an...

    Cancer Cells Develop "addiction" To Treatment; Stopping It Is Therapeutic

    This is the sad state the medical profession has reached. Over the last 5-7 years a number of studies have found that in many conditions stopping the active treatment actually improves the health of the person. This has been noted in a number of conditions, especially "autoimmune" ones (i.e. RA...

    Low-dose Glycine May Treat Alcoholic Delirium / Hallucinosis In Humans

    The symptoms of alcohol withdrawal and its associated delirium are due mostly to serotonin overload and functional GABA deficiency. As such, anti-serotonin drugs can be very beneficial but they often have side effects and cannot be freely obtained. This human study showed that a single...

    SSRI Can Lead To Public Health Disaster

    The article's focus is UK but the same argument applies to pretty much any Western country as the SSRI are a mainstream depression drug in most of the Western world. As you can see, these drugs are often the cause for the exact same problems they are supposed to treat. What's worse, once a...

    Phenibut Withdrawal

    My son is experiencing some extreme withdrawal symptoms from taking 2g and up for over a week. I read theanine might help. Any other suggestions? Could cyproheptadine help?
