You should look into Mucuna pruriens, which is a natural form of L. Dopamine which is a serotonin precursor.   http://www.rain-tree.com/velvetbean.htm   http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php?Cat=0&Board=Garden&Number=2752717&Searchpage=1&Main=2727398&Words=l.dopa&topic=&Search=true#Post2752717           ----- Original Message ----- From: marekreavis To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Sent: Thursday, June 09, 2005 10:24 AM Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re: Medicated Baby Boomer Ru's --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Peter Sutphen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]...> wrote: **SNIP** > >if anyone has had any > > experience and/or > > results from the OTC supplement, 5-HTP?  It is the > > immediate > > precursor to the neurotransmitter, Serotonin, which > > the lack of > > availability at the synaptic gaps is addressed by > > Prozac, Zoloft and > > the other SSRI's (selective serotonin re-uptake > > inhibitors). > > > > Serotonin in the body is made slowly and the idea of > > regular > > supplement of its immediate precursor is thought to > > help obviate > > depression, etc.  Anyone?  Dr. Pete? > > > > Thanks, > > > > Marek > > I'm not familiar with it.

Thought you might know.  I take it everyday just to help keep the serotonin cupboard stocked.  I have heard anecdotally that it helps with depression; depression, of course, linked with low serotonin levels. It is frequently taken by users of ecstacy (MDMA) to offset the serotonin depletion that accompanies that substance use.
