everyone seen this study by now
http://www.uu.se/en/...e/?id=4918&typ=
from the article
"In the new study, it was discovered that participants with social phobia produced too much serotonin in a part of the brain’s fear center, known as the amygdala. The more serotonin produced, the more anxious the patients were in social situations."
My belief is I have this problem. Overactive serotonin receptors which leads to an overactive amygdala thus more fear.
Are there any drugs that can help me? I have tried serotonin antagonists in order to reduce the activity but they dont work. The only drugs that has worked (kind of worked) for me has been Memantine and tianeptine .
apparantly memantine reduces amygdala activity and tianeptine has some actions on the amygdala and reduces serotonin. Now I was thinking of taking the two together.. Are there any better ways to deal with this issue?
