In reply to How to increase my serotonin levels, posted by Robert Fairburn on October 25, 2003, at 20:10:53
Hi Robert,
I am not sure if blood tests are indicative of serotonin levels in your brain.
The amino acid 5HTP is one way to directly and naturally raise serotonin levels in the brain. It has been very effective for some people in treating depression and anxiety related to low serotonin levels. I can say that it definitely helps my depression (which I believe to be related to low serotonin levels) to an extent.
AD's also serve to increase serotonin levels by inhibiting the uptake of serotonin. Good luck
