Serotonin too LOW due to antihistamines for long periods?

[faxmulder]

Hi guys,

I was wondering if continuous antihistamine usage (I'm cycling Zyrtec and Ebastine) could theoretically cause serotonin to drop too low.
I know that this forum "hates" serotonin, but lately I'm dealing with anxiety, overthinking, worrying and also some mild OCD symptoms - could these be symptoms of low serotonin?


Thanks!

Those aren't "symptoms"of low serotonin, although serotonin can help you deal with those symptoms by numbing you to them

If there's one hormone you cant be too low in, its serotonin. Your body doesn't need it when times are good .

What you're describing sounds like high adrenaline. Anti histamines increase adrenaline.
That's why I'm of that stuff . Always made me feel anxious and impatient the next day .

Beta Blockers but I don’t think you need to go that route. I would eat one or two bananas instead.

What about things that raise dopamine? Are dopamine and adrenaline correlated?

Do you have any experience with SAMe and agmatine?

Thanks man
