I also doubt that the heavy participants in this thread did a whole lot of research, since you could probably Google "Depression seratonin cause" and find a plethora of useful info.

I think this thread has really become a fight between those who believe depression is a desease or a medical problem versus those who feel it is a personal choice or confusion. It really has little to do with seratonin at this point.

you're right, but i am trying to make a point here. Some people have no idea (IN GENERAL) what the hell their talking about.

What I had heard is that it raises your melatonin 4,000%.

In your case nochowder I can understand n sympathize. crazypot head u ARE a pussy n i wasnt intending on helping anyone in the first place shithead. lmao, go play in traffic lovelife. Mello, good point, although this was about weed linked to depression. The funny thing about the whole subject is that even scientists are not too entirely sure what factors add up to depression, aside serotonin levels. I just saw a commercial for depressionhurts.com including the subject of serotonin as well as norepinephrine, but is funded by a pharmaceutical drug company, that started with a statement about proposed causes with "scientists think", an obvious wildcard. Various research studies contradict one widely accepted cause, then another in turn n so forth. In some cases a test subject who reportedly inherited a 'genetic depression' ended up aiding themselves unwittingly by means of a placebo. In another, a patient on anti-depressants ended up developing an actual more serious disorder. So in some cases as nochowderforyou theres plausible reason, but too many people out there easily succumb to needless medication n practices, produced by drug makers, that only hinder their emotional/physical functioning more than with depression alone. Aside that, here is an article origianlly from sciencedirect.com on a new study conducted indicating that marijuana does not cause depression.

A major cause of depression is when the â??sendingâ?� side of brain cells sending the Serotonin to the other side, reabsorbs the serotonin it just sent out and the receiving side never gets it. Thatâ??s why drugs like Prozac, Paxil, Zoloft, etc. are called SSRIs. SSRI stands for â??selective serotonin reuptake inhibitorâ?�. they prevent the sending side for reabsorbing it thus allowing the receiving side to actually get the serotonin.

Also I saw a show about that is how the drug extacy works. It causes your brain to dump all of its serotonin all at once, 10 to 20 times the normal amount your receiving side usually gets. That is why it makes you feel really good. But then when it wears off your sending side has no serotonin left so it leaves you feeling VERY depressed for 12 hours or so when you come down from it.

I personally have never tried X but that is how it works.
