hey man i can tell you theres nothing anyone on this board can do to help other than simple conversation. I will be hanging in this thread and am more than happy to talk to you for a while. I saw my first psychiatrist a few months ago and shit is still tough but it does get better man, i promise. Reply to me, i will be hanging around!

same guy here, i also am on lots of medication for different things which i am happy to talk about if that helps..

>>39544942
It gets better slowly but surely just stop doing mdma or whatever, if you can do it without drugs then do it

My problem is I'm a full-blown alcoholic now, it just keeps pilling on.

you cant quit alcohol cold turkey you must seek help depending on how long youve been drinking quitting could kill you

see a doctor friend if not for me for yourself

well bro im only 17 and i have demons myself, we all do. We both know the only way you can get through this is by putting the bottle down. If you really do want this shit to end you should be strong enough to put it away.

Tryptophan, an amino acid, makes serotonin.

Stay off the phenylalanine unless taking antioxidants.

>serotonine depletion syndrome

you want to know how I know you self-diagnosed through google?

Anyway, If its depression youre suffering from there is not much anyone can do for you on a chinese comic forum.
Those kind of ailments have multifactorial causes deeply rooted in your lifestyle, environment and physiology. So there is no quick fix.

If you have further questions feel free to ask away.

Just got my MD a month ago, so Im not super experienced in psychiatry but I know a few things

>>39545136
yeah thats not how it works unfortunatly
taking the base amino acid orally wont do much for your neurotransmitters inside your brain.
Esp. not when taken with other AAs

>>39545221
Not according to Scholar.

Not that Serotonin can be directly measured, but typt. increases serotonin-correlative chemicals.

>>39545239
it does yes, but not particularly where you would want it to

orally administered tryptophan gets converted to serotinine mainly inside the bowels because there is a limited amount of transport proteins at the brain-blood barrier
most other amino acids also compete witn tryptophan at these transporters

in short orally administered tryptophan wont do much for your mood but mainly causes bowel cramps and diarrhea

>it does yes, but not particularly where you would want it to
Feel free to post sources.

>other amino acids also compete witn tryptophan
Not if taken by itself.

Trypt. produces more than serotonin, especially what's showing to reverse aging: NAD.

Go to an AA meeting. They'll know the best resources in your area to help you with the tapering and detox process should you choose to get sober.
