Opinions - Could Change Medicine... MY Theory connecting DMT, SSRI's, and Growth Hormone..

[tayo]

Now that SWIM has you here... here it goes

SWIM thinks that DMT is responsible for sex drive/sexual feelings and interpretations of them. Many users of DMT including SWIM find that it creates strong sexual feelings, SWIM almost thinks that alot of DMT is released during orgasm until SWIM thinks a serotonin storage is released, which results in a resolve.

SSRI's have a common side effect of sexual dysfuntion, lack of sexual interest, loss in ability to get or retain an erection... Also DMT and 5-meo-dmt can and have had no, or very little effect on people taking SSRIs, specifically high doses in the system. Personally SWIM had no luck with three times the dose of 5-meo-dmt that worked for someone else when on a daily dose of 80mg prozac.

So, if endogenous DMT were responsible for sexual feelings/interest/orgasm. It would make sense that SSRI's repress their natural function. SSRIs would boost serotonin which would likely overpower the DMTs ability to create sexual desire/feelings, essentially skipping it all the time. SSRIs would constantly be stimulating the resolution phase seen after orgasm, skipping the sexual desire caused by DMT all the time.

It should also be noted that in one study, "growth hormone blood levels rose equally in response to all doses of DMT" so it would be possible that SSRIs could lower growth hormone to the same extent that they repress DMT, but not necessarily. If this were lack of growth hormone (somatotropin) could manifest itself in some of the other side effects involved with SSRIs treatments, i.e. hypogonadism, weight gain,(hgh deficiency can cause diminished lean body mass), increased cholesterol.

These things all match up, SWIM didn't list sources but if you want to verify the verifyable it would be easy to find sexual DMT accounts, GH deficiency symptoms, SSRI side effects, the DMT/GH study.

Please add to this, if something is drastically wrong let SWIM know. Though we may not be able to prove everything due to lack of studies at this point in time,

what does everyone think???

If this has some serious validity then maybe the moderators can help it get more views somehow, this could potentially change what we know about the relationships of DMT to Growth Hormone to Serotonin.

SWIM is eager for responses to see if anyone else thinks it quite bright. Maybe needs to be put in hir place though time will tell.
