What it means to me is that you actually do have low serotonin. I believe most people do not, but given SSRIs anyway.

If your serotonin is low, an SSRI is going to increase it at the synapse rapidly - minutes or hours - and you feel that. Most people don't feel that. They instead wait 6 weeks for a numb feeling to kick in. They never felt a sudden profound relief on a single dose. You increased your serotonin and felt better. That tells me you actually could have low serotonin, for whatever reason.

But it becomes too much serotonin, flooding NE and DA receptors with all the overflow, within a few days. Went from too low to too high.

Maybe consider prozac doses spaced out every few days or so. A single dose can last a week with its long half life.

Maybe consider 5htp to create your own extra serotonin without any meds.

Consider rhodiola, which helps in the manufacture and utilization of serotonin, excellent anyway for anxiety and mood and energy.
