@DukesBobby777 No, i didn't, because this drug eventually would be too expensive to keep doing it. Actually, i'm on Mirtazapine 30mg, an atypical antidepressant that it's a serotonin antagonist very similar to Metergoline bc it acts specifically of the 5-ht2 receptors and i'm getting good results (althought i'm thinking about increasing the dose to 45mg). If you have high serotonin symptoms i would give it a try, I get the prescription monthly from my psychiatrist and since I started it my symptoms have drastically reduced

@Mulloch94 Ive heard that agonism at 5-HT1A receptor its not a big deal, actually would be good because that receptor inhibits - or regulate - serotonergic transmission

@Mulloch94 Took 1.5mg and felt nothing on it.

@CO3 I think this is my main problem today. One good suggestion is to put the phone on grayscale mode (the colors are too stimulating, and causes cheap dopamine in the brain). It definetly works and makes the experience of doomscrolling more boring.

Also, delete Twitter as well, or at least put some time restriction on it. Probably the most addictive social media today.

@Mulloch94 How long do the effects last for you?

@CO3 Sure, i wasn't expecting to feel insanely good either and the purpose of the topic was precisely to know if it would be necessary to increase the dose or not.

@CO3 Idk what to expect, but i’ll try more 3mcg tomorrow on breakfast and on lunch. I’m just wondering if i should have felt something, since i’ve heard T3 is way more potent than T4.

So i’ve had 3mcg of T3 with food today. I was quite anxious, and on the first 30 minutes i felt my temperature raising from 95.14F to 97.16F. Besides this, i didn’t felt anything different.
I decided to take T3 because i feel my symptoms are thyroid related (fatigue, lack of focus, depressed mood, low temps etc). But now i’m thinking:

Should i take more? I’m planning to maybe try 6mcg. Or there is a chance that my problems aren’t thyroid-related?

@yerrag Thanks, that should be helpful!

One thing i'm also noticing is that i'm waking up with morning temps of like 94.64F°. Too low. No wonder why i keep tired all day...

I'm considering taking some T3.

@CO3 I use a drip coffee maker, so it's very simple

@basebolt I just realized that i haven't tried inosine either. My mistake.

@CO3 Usually 1 tablespoon of grounded coffee for 500ml of water

So i've bought metergoline to lower my serotonin - since none of the ordinary methods are working - but i'm a little afraid to take it. That's because of my past bad experience with cypro (althought it was working on the beggining).
Here in my country they sell this medicine only for dogs/cats. Idk, it's just weird to think about taking a veterinary medicine.
I want to know from anyone who has taken it what their experience was like, possible side effects, etc.

@CO3 You gave me a good idea with metergoline bc i just find out that it doesn't need a prescription in my country. Gonna give it a try!

@CO3 said in Killing serotonin without drugs:

Heroic amounts of coffee will help you a great deal too

The problem with coffe is that it irritates my stomach, but usually has good effects on me too.

@Kvirion said in Killing serotonin without drugs:

How much cypro have you taken?

I was taking 2mg, and it was being good. Problems started to appear when i increased the dose to 4mg and took 6mg in one day (2mg in the afternoon and 4 at night). It was pretty bad, i had mild hallucinations, rampant anxiety, mild delirium and hyperthermia. Reminded me of when I had a bad trip with psilocybin, but maybe it's anticholinergic symptoms.
Since then, I haven't taken it anymore for fear of something similar happening again.

@Kvirion said in Killing serotonin without drugs:

Plus: aspirin, inosine, creatine, collagen, magnesium, thyroids, and CBG (as a 5-HT1A antagonist).

I've tried all of this things except thyroid (it's impossible to find in my country, Brazil). They don't have much effect on me.

@Kvirion said in Killing serotonin without drugs:

Have you tried all those methods
Not all of them. I'm gonna check it out, thks!

So i've been attempting to lower my serotonin because i'm convinced that it was excess serotonin that ruined my life. Context: i've been suffering for years with severe fatigue, ADHD symptoms, anhedonia, lack of energy, learned helplessness, fearful and introvert behavior, depressive thoughts and etc. All of these symptoms worsened when i was put on a SSRI years ago...
I began to notice how bad this was affecting my life when i started to take Ritalin for my ADHD - a dopamine reuptake inhibitor. I felt amazing, but the effects lasted only for 2 months. Since it stopped working, i tried cypro for a week, and i was shocked in how all of my symptoms disappeared on that week. Mood problems, ADHD, lack of energy, all of that vanished. But i was forced to stop cypro because i started to having some problems with this drug (anticholinergic syndrome symptoms). Currently, i'm microdosing psylocibin mushrooms, and the results are being good to. One of the bizarre side effects i notice when i lower my serotonin is that colors become more vivid, taste and smell improves, and i notice things on my surrounding that i didn't noticed before. Serotonin zombified me. However, i would like to lower my serotonin without relying on drugs because eventually they stop work and the symptoms go back.

Diet is basically meat, orange juice, fruit juices, milk, potatoes, some veg, cheese and all of the typical peat stuff. I also do the carrot salad and take aspirin often, and i already tried to take some supplements that supposedly would decrease my serotonin, like L-Theanine, Tyrosine, B vitamins, etc. But none of these things seems to work like an anti-serotonin drug. What i could do?
