@brix this is why without glutathione LH goes down. since the body does not want to release NO. since it cant make it.
Also, key in the whole Gonadotropin-LH-FSH Cycle.
NMDA-Receptors; its actually
KEY in Sexual Function.
So much so that the
GENE for the NMDA-Receptor
is what determines your Probability of getting SSRI-Sexual Dysfunction (PSSD).
Many folks don't realize there
IS an essential neurological pathway, the Spinal Erection (non-contact erection) or neurologically activated Erections (say by viewing Nude blonde chickies on a Beach in Russia) - is actually based on NMDA-Receptor
AND Oxytocin pathway. NMDA causes the Erection by acting on Spinal-Nerve Impulses, which
USE Oxytocin, to then release
Nitric Oxide. So, in short, using D-Aspartic Acid + Sarcosine (
E-Pharm Test Force II) and then a Spoon of
CEYLON Cinnamon (DIYESTA) can greatly improve NON-Contact Erections.
- Take note though, NMDA-Receptors and Oxytocin do NOTHING if Serotonin is TOO-HIGH! [STUDY]
- Serotonin blocks NMDA-channels, thus making it not work to Trigger Erections. [STUDY]
- PT-141 and other "sex drugs" may not work as well with high Serotonin, either, so using Cyproheptadine along with PT-141 may be a Good Idea.
SYMPTOMS OF HIGH (EXCESS) SEROTONIN (ARTICLE)
- Over-Sensitivity to sounds, especially loud noises. Excessive jumpiness or even anxiety in response to sudden sounds or movements(1) (2).
- Visual distortions, height / depth alteration, hallucinations(3) (4).
- Words may appear out of place, or your perception of what you are reading may be entirely different. { e.g reading the third line thinking its the second}(5)
- Sensitivity changes to light, sedation or no response to darkness(6) (7) (8)(9).
- Lack of pain sensation, or HYPO Algesia, some individuals with high serotonin display such a lack in pain perception/sensitivity that it mirrors the effects of those under the influence of PCP. Pain asymbolia can be misdiagnosed as high serotonin(10)(11).
- Tinnitus, ringing in ears(12)(13).
- Vertigo. Dizziness. Room spinning(14) (15).
BEHAVIORAL / MENTAL EFFECTS
- Delirium. Usually including abnormal forms of panic or worry along with various disperceptions(16) (17).
- Depersonalization. Feeling out of place, out of body, or that events or surroundings are surreal(18)(19).
- Frequent or occasional episodes of psychosis, paranoia, pathology changes, and obsessional behavior(20)(21).
- Religious delusions and religious over-engagement. (some cult leaders are hypothesized to have elevated, but not toxic levels of serotonin)(22). The best book on this is "Biology of Religious Behavior : The Evolutionary Origins of Faith and Religion".
- Unexplained agitation or inner restlessness(23).
- Dystonia, tic-like behaviors, punding; repetitive behaviors(24) (25) (26)(27).
- Frequent crying episodes in children, unwarranted panic or extreme anxiety(28).
- Low/Absent Libido(29)
- Emotional Anhedonia / Apathy / Blunt AFFECT (30) (31) (32)(33)(34)
- Jittery, nervous hands, tremors, impatient(35) (36) (37).
- Depression , despair, lack of motivation(38)(39).
- Reading/Comprehension deficits(40).
PERIPHERAL / INTERNAL EFFECTS
IN BLOOD WORK
-Low testosterone/On the low end of normal.
-High cortisol.
-High prolactin.
-High ACTH
-Hypo or hyperthyrodism (high T4/low TSH or the inverse)
