In reply to Interesting study on vitamin D, serotonin, posted by Tomatheus on February 26, 2014, at 23:06:45
I find that totally fascinating and here is why.
I used to try 5htp and trytophan supps. The problem was, it was all going to serotonin in my body but not my brain. Even at low doses I got the same side effects you would get from high dose SSRI. There were no brain effects at all.
Well, I did not know it at the time, but due to ongoing undiagnosed Lyme disease my vitamin was very low. Anyone with low D, it's low for a reason and it's probably an infection you aren't aware of.
Hmm. Well, labs last week showed that for the first time in years my Vit D is back in the normal range, after intense antibiotics and high dose D for many months.
Does that mean I am going to run out and try an SSRI or 5htp to see if things are different now? More brain serotonin?
Answer: NOOOO!!!!!!!!!
