would it be possable to exhaust the bodys serotonin before death? + other MDMA Questi

[geezaman]

SWIM has used the search engine but has been unable to find an answer to his question, usually he would take this as, what he heard being false, but the fact he was told it while rolling with the daughter of two registered drugs workers who obviously have to be quite knowledgeable about the effects of drugs has made him bring it here, Hedonaut seems to have looked into this in the most depth from the search engine results but did not answer it.

So, does the body only have a certain amount of serotonin per lifetime?
if so how many E drops would it take to use it all up prior to death?
Is it possible to use it all up or does your body naturally ration it out to you and that "ration" is what is meant when it is said "E makes your body use up your supply of serotonin and it is a limited supply and your body does not make more".

This is one of the first things SWIM has considered or heard that makes SWIM consider regulating his use of or stopping using E.

also SWIM has noticed that while looking at the search results that many posters have given a max useful dose of E (max dose before serotonin available is completely/ mostly depleted) in a number of pills. does anyone have data regarding this but by weight, so those of us lucky enough to have found their pill reliably (enough) on a pill id site or test/have tested their pills for amounts of MDMA ( unfortunately not SWIM at the present point in time) can decide on their maximum dose.

also other than depression that some users suffer from for varied amounts of time (usually correlating to amount of MDMA consumed) after a roll, does the serotonin depletion effect bodily function, working or growth in any known ways?

good question, very specific and detailed

Not really a solid fact but an educated guess: I can't imagine the body can "run out" of serotonin like a car would run of feul seeing as there are ways to replenish depleted serotonin levels by eating certain foods, exercising, taking in the sunshine etc.

Your body is constantly producing serotonin all the time, there isn't a "lifetime supply". Ecstacy tolerance is probably a combination of the loss of novelty after becoming used to the effects and actual changes in the brain/ downregulation.

without trying to be arwquard sterling, is this somthing you heard, your own opinion or a fact? This info could greatly effect SWIMs usage of MDMA containing things

Like stated before, serotonin is continuously made throughout your life, there is not one "supply." Diet, personality, and lifestyle are the main factors that effect the amount of serotonin the body produces.

In theory, there is no way to "run out" unless your body were to stop running in total. However, you can damage your serotonin receptors if you were to use large amounts of mdma or other drugs, which would render the serotonin useless (assuming that all of the receptors were damaged/shutdown, which is very unlikely.

thankyou RPS, your answer will do SWIM fine, apologies for seeming nit picking , but previously on this and other forums as I'm sure we are all aware some people post opinions as facts and can be wrong, this can be more easily done when an idea goes against what is likely, or the existing consensus or belief,
thanks guys- as previously mentioned this Question had not as far as SWIM is aware been bought up here before. so considered it worthy of asking
