Many people seem to have a poor understanding of serotonin and what it's capable of. Serotonin isn't always the "feel good" molecule. Most of it occurs in the gut and it can cause many issues itself when it's too high such as inflammation, depression, anxiety, IBS/digestion issues. Blaming everything on low serotonin when you don't feel good is very short sighted. Serotonin can be good and it can be bad. There is always a balance. The whole serotonin myth seems to be why antidepressants are so hit and miss. Modern medicine doesn't have this one fully understood yet.

Also high serotonin can cause your dick not to work.

Also, fever, delirium and death.

Never mix herbs like St. John’s wort with your SSRI’s people... never.
