Misc Kanna and serotonin production

[bernax]

So i know that with certain hormones if you take them too long your body will stop producing the hormone by itself. Does anyone know if this goes the same for SSRI's and serotonin (in this case the SSRI is kana)

Serotonin isn't a hormone, it's a monoamine neurotransmitter.

Yes, but to my knowing the same happens with tryptophan which is an amino acid

Trypthophan is an essential amino acid and can´t be synthesized by the human body so you have to get all you need through diet (or supplements).

I have also heard that our body stops producing stuff that we normally take which is for instance serotonin.
Same shit happens if you take opiates for a long time, and start using testosterone. After a while, your body will need that shot to produce it accordingly.
Endorphin is what worries me. I took opiates for a long time and up to this date I don´t feel as happy or satisfied as I should.
Same people say you must do sports like crazy develop a routine but I don´t have the time to go to gym and stay there as often as I wish, so I feel that sometimes I´m feeling good but most times I´m concerned and yes a little unhappy.
