Those are real good thoughts.How does inositol become serotonergic in particular? Is it a membrane thing or a second messenger thing? Neither? Calcium channel thing? A quick look at Wikipedia didn't really address this issue, or I must have missed it. One thing for sure, though, is that they reported efficacy for inositol in OCD, which would lead one to believe that serotonin is involved.
