Re: Too much Serotonin?

Serotonin antagonists block the action of serotonin at one or more serotonin receptors.

Some of these drugs also act as serotonin reuptake inhibitors (meaning they will increase serotonin and block its action at certain receptors).

Cyproheptadine would generally only block the action of serotonin since it is a receptor blocker but not a reuptake inhibitor. Cyproheptadine can be used to block serotonin syndrome - which can occur when certain serotonin boosters are combined.

Something like theanine (in green tea) has been shown to normalize serotonin function in cases where it can become elevated because of anxiety.

Also, gingko biloba might be worth looking into. It enhances serotonin reuptake, block certain serotonin receptors, and can enhance dopamine function.

Another herb would be feverfew. It is traditionally used in migraines, but has an anti serotonin action.
