So we’re sitting at the yontiff table, and someone mentions how eating chocolate releases serotonin.
I said, “Big deal, so do SSRI’s.”
Right?
what’s SSRI’s?
SSRI’s inhibit the reuptake of seretonin. They don’t release or produce seretonin, they just enhance the effect of endogenous seretonin
whats serotonin and SSRI’s ?
Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (or s/t like that). MAOI’s inhibit the degredation of different hormones. They don’t produce them either
Chocolate is much cheaper than SSRI’s, unless you have a sweet Rx plan.
taking a break – What? Are you in nursing school?
Sounds like you’re taking Pharm 101.
No it not. There is a big difference between releasing ( as chocolate does) and inhibiting reuptake ( such as SSRI’s and MAOI’s).
Sorry. Not telling you what I’m studying. But it’s in the medical field.
OK OK I concede. The effect is similar you forgot to mention the health benefits of chocolate and the potential SE of those drugs. I’d take chocolate if you’re offering 🙂
PBA -“how eating chocolate releases serotonin.”
By me – it’s like – goes straight into the opiate receptors.
Nothing is like Cholov Stam chocolate!
