But isn't that exactly what usually happens, right? Are the study leaders wrong? Haven't brain scans proved low mood with certain mind states? Limit L-tryptophan from the diet and up the protein. Wouldn't any serotonergic med responder do badly with such a diet? And isn't that 'creating' a chemical imbalance? ;)Isocarboxazid 70mg, bupropion 150mg, quetiapine 100mg, amitriptyline 100mg, clonazepam 2mg,
