Neuro Transmitter test results : please advise

[DanielS3368]

Hi there,

Just got these results. Not what i was expecting as Iam sufferer of POIS and
I had thought dopamine would be low as well as Gaba and Serotonin
and Epine+Norepine would be sky high.

It was taken during the worst moment of POIS and the symptoms kick in.

Iam wondering why my serotonin is low dispite taking 300-400 mg of 5htp everyday for the last 1-2 years with breaks. Any ideas why it isnt being absorbed?

ITs probably your turn over or cell membrane fluidity affecting thinngs.
How low is your cholesterol?

there are 4 mono-amine neurotransmitters: serotonin and the 3 catacholamines. Serotonin opposes the catacholamines and visa verse. With your dopamine so high, serotonin is suppressed. GABA is down stream from serotonin and it will follow it. I follow the work of Dr. Marty Hinz of neuroassist.com. He does not believe that 5htp should be taken by itself. He believes in rebalancing serotonin and the catacholamines.

I would guess not many people are optimal due to the toxic world and stress

Fix the breaking system first (gaba, serotonin, acetylcholine) before adding the gas (dopamine, nor, adrenaline)
Common sense ..

Thank you for the replys Han and HeadDoc.

Iam embarrased to say I do not know my cholesterol level? Never have had it tested.
Does diet or Test level affect cholesterol levels?

How important is testing cholesterol?

Thank you

It is odd ... as I was also taking 500-1gm of Gaba and always have taking choline(2-3) and now added Inistol to the Choline and every second day I would add around 10g of Lecithin.

Han I noticed in your neuro transmitter thread you have the same problem with the serotonin ?
Didnt you also have high progesterone levels as well ? How has this been?

I also have high progesterone levels and it effects the pines size greatly :S

What would you recommend in increasing gaba and serotonin 5htp without taking both as I already was taking high doses ?

Cell membranes definetly seem stiff ... would the fish oil, borage and choline+inistol help with this ? Anything else ?

I just read hardasnails1973 link on cholesterol in the lithium thread. Very interstring. Take a look.
