In reply to excess serotonin= depression, asthma?, posted by loolot on October 26, 2003, at 14:52:10
Laloot are you saying that you have too much serotinin and that is causing your depression. Remeber that catecholamines levels play an imporant role in depression. What are your levels for these like.
Regards Robert> I have been reading some studies which state that depression and some forms of asthma may be caused by too much seratonin.
> For the asthma portion, some asthmatics were tested
> for seratonin in their blood plasma. Their levels were a lot higher than the controls.
> There is an AD called tianeptine which is supposed to actually cut back on seratonin in the brain.
> I think it is in Europe only.
> Anyway, since I am afflicted with both conditions I was wondering if anyone else may know anything about this theory, drug, or even any vits one can take too reduce serotonin
