In reply to Info on serotonin in the body?, posted by Racer on August 2, 2004, at 16:49:03
I wish I understood that better myself. It must be involved in the GI functioning, sleep, appetite, and sexual response. Seems like understanding more about it might help managing the side effects. And I'd love to know the relation between the level in the body and in the brain. I try to keep my SSRI dosage low enough that I don't get the undesirable body effects, but I wonder if it's necessary to have those effects to get the necessary brain boost.
And I wonder-- do the other neurotransmitters also affect the entire body?
I tried some google searches a while back and couldn't find much-- perhaps you did the same. All the hits on serotonin are about psych meds.
