RE: Craving This....

Awesome, thanks for this. I was just wondering why @krazdang was craving chocolate all the time earlier tonight!

If I'm not totally incorrect, serotonin is produced by the adrenal glands and lack of it would be a symptom of adrenal fatigue?

    This Just In from: pointofreturn.com

    But elevated serotonin triggers the production of Cortisol and Adrenaline (Epinephrine), which is the body's natural reaction from the body to combat the excess Serotonin levels. This is what gives the boost or euphoric state that can last for a period of time. However, as Serotonin remains unnaturally high, the adrenals become fatigued and cause levels of Adrenaline to decline while the Cortisol increases. The adrenals become exhausted, which helps to explain the fatigue and other symptoms that many SSRI-Antidepressant users report.

      Possibly adrenal fatigue... who is to really say without testing.
