Am I interpreting this correctly? Is this guy saying that there is actually a SHORTAGE of seratonin and that the drug Ecstasy is promoting the production and release of it? Isn't this contractory to what you've found out, Flash? You mentioned the "seratonin storm" that precedes an attack and I interpreted that to be an excess.....my little pea brain is having a hard time with this one. I've heard yet another theory that seratonin isn't really a quantifiable substance. I'm soooo confused.
But then again, this coroner calls clusters a "deeply unpleasant variant of migraine".......that's a new one.
Good for you Doug - good homework!
