> I think you were the only one to see what I was getting at with the Serotonin boosters.

If you boost Serotonin you are risking SS again. You might want to read a bit about SS before you start adding stuff. Lots
of things to avoid. Given that SS effects the autonomic nervious system, don't play around. An autonomic system crisis can be deadly. No BP or tempature regulation, for starters, muscle rigidity, ect.

Everything I read on SS says avoid all Serotonin
agents and things that effect it, like DMX,
or risk relapse.

Seems you want to head in to other direction.

Till the blood/brain barrier can be passed and 5HT get to the cleft supplements for 5HT precusrsors are so much qwack. Unfortunatally
5HT will build up in blood and can be quite bad.

Also, no one seem to mention the feed back loop
that means you pee off excess precursors, the amino acids being the one that comes to mind.
You pee them off for good reason, having too many
is not a good thing.

If there is damage, ramming what you are missing
into the body is not going to work on a system this complex. At least until we can describe the entire system, completely. There is not proof
Serotonin site damage means the treatment is more
Serotonin. Ramming huge amounts (keep in mind
the body uses milla and nano levels of neurotransmitters) begs the question, how will it be regulated & given the one NT level effects
all others, how do you know how much to take ?
Remember, we don;t really know how much of each
NT a normal person should have, at least not in the sence we do know how much thyroid to give and can measure thyroid against norms at ml and nl levels.

Also, the neurotransmitter deficency model of
mental illness was cast aside a decade ago.
It does not work. That is not to say NT's have nothing to do with mental illness.

disney4, I too got your post. I know quite a bit
about SS, as I take 450 mgs of Effexor and 30 mgs
Remeron. I have to know about SS as very high doses of 5HT effecting AD's (Effexor is the higest)are the major cause of SS. Based on what I know, I saw you were thinmking for doing something dangerous. Given that you had SS in the past, I felt I had to warn you. Sorry you did not want to hear that.
