Does this study say that angiotensin II would be useful for reducing serotonin:
"Ang II administration also increased (by 15% and 55%) the levels of the major serotonin metabolite, 5HIAA. This effect was also abolished by co-administration with Losartan, and Losartan alone depressed basal levels of 5HIAA. "

The thing is that I would need Losartan to decrease my high blood pressure (from what I assume is from the phenylalanine in my amino acid cocktail), but wouldn't that lead to increased serotonin?
