As A Serotonin Syndrome Sufferer, Is Phosphatidylserine Unsafe?

[nostalgic]

Some websites state it increases serotonin but I also found a site stating it doesn't: https://www.herbs2000.com/h_menu/phosphatidylserine.htm

Do you think it's safe to use for a serotonin syndrome sufferer?

You probably want to investigate something with more direct effects on serotonin like cyproheptadine, tianeptine, or famotidine. I’d probably start check out famotidine first since it’s OTC (assuming you’re in the US).

Progesterone and activated charcoal also seem to be generally beneficial for most people that are not doing well.

Bump. Wondering what phospatidylserine (PS) does with serotonin.

Recently had a bit of a relapse with my serotonin syndrome recovery, and seemed to be much more sensitive to everything than the initial go round. My wife just happened to be reading a book on health and shared a chapter of the book about drinking celery juice. I started drinking 16oz of celery juice, very first thing in the morning on an empty stomach about a week ago, and I can not express what this seems to have done for my guy health… I couldn’t eat anything but rice, and steamed potatoes a week ago, and this morning after my morning celery juice, I had turkey, potatoes, green beans, made a wild blueberry smoothie, and I am barely feeling any effects from it. I just had to come share this with this community, and hopefully it will really help someone else, the way it has helped me.

Probably depends on the type of juicer you have, but if you have a good masticating juicer, about 24 fl oz of celery, should yield 16 oz of pulp free juice. You should juice it as close to the time you plan to drinking it as possible. You can do it the night before if kept in an airtight mason jar, but I recommend juicing it right before you drink it. Drink this first thing in the morning, on an empty stomach. From what I understand, you can do this twice a day for even more dramatic results (2nd time, make sure you wait at least 2 hours from previous meal), so I am getting ready to start twice daily juices today. One note of warning, I got really positive effects the first several days, then for a couple days, I got diarrhea after, but today the that went away, and I felt like I turned another corner with my gut health, so I tried a full fledged meal this morning,(mentioned above) and was shocked to find I did not get any of the usual negative effects. I always give the juice about .5-1hour before following it with food.

I really hope this helps others the way it has helped me.
