I don't think so, Laima. The inference that Edwin Ransom made wasn't a proper inference from the article.
If they had picked some other AD to compare to inositol, Edwin R might not have focussed on the serotonin element of the equation.
There's no particular reason to think that, if inositol does have anti-anxiety effects, it's because of a serotonin-raising property. But of course, it is possible.
Possible means that on my own knowledge, I couldn't rule it out, because I just don't know. Doesn't mean that there's any reason to have made the association.
However, since it's come to our attention, if you can't find out definitively, you could use caution at first. I would ask my Pdoc-- just to be sure. But if he doesn't know, I would experiment carefully after I'd been on my target dose of emsam for a while.
