Dear Sigolene,
Thank-you very much for your explanation. Now I understand the method your doctor uses. I think this is the first time that I have seen it. It sounds good.Thank-you for writing in English. You speak very, very well.
> For high 5 HT and DA turnover, I should take a neuroleptic wich decrease these two neurotransmitters. But I'm not taking it, because too much side effects, and also I would like to have a baby, it's not good to take neuroleptics in that case. I'm just taking E vitamin as antioxydant (to decrease the over destruction of neurotransmitters in synapses) and AD (mianserin).J'espere que vous avez un infant comme vous voulez. (I tried).
> I think it's an interesting thing to measure metabolites, because for example, I know now why I feel very very bad if I take SSRI's AD for my depression. It's because I already have a too high 5 HT turnover, there's no need to increase more 5 HT. My depression is probably due to low NE, because "mianserin" (which works firstly on NE) is effective.
This is so cool.
> > > In the past, depression has been associated with *low* levels of urinary metabolites. This is an indicator of low turnover.
> Yes when it's "normal" depression, but mine is atypical depression, associated with personality desorder. So, maybe it's deferent.
Votre explanacion est tres completement. Merci.Good luck and stay well. I just said a little prayer for you to have a healthy baby. Au revoir.
Sincerely,
Scott
