Serotonin


a neurotransmitter believed to regulate mood. ssri’s inhibit the reuptake of serotonin in the brain (leading there to be more serotonin left as a result), hopefully improving the mood.

personally, a good blast on the codeine cheers me up more than any ssri.
perhaps it’s my endorphine system rather than my serotoninergic system that is f-cked.
a lack of serotonin is believed to be a cause of depression. it also controls appet-te, among other things.

antidepressants often (through various mechanisms) increase the amount of serotonin in the brain.

mdma (ecstacy) causes a m-ssive (cascading) release of serotonin in the brain – responsible for both it’s euphoric effects, and the depressive aftereffects (less serotonin remains in the brain, until generated again)
