Diminishing tryptophan hydroxylase

Unread post by ElaineBenes5 »

Tryptophan hydroxylase is the enzyme which catalyzes conversion of tryptophan to 5htp.

Are there any ways to block this enzyme from functioning properly and potentially deplete serotonin without depleting other neurotransmitters?

Has anything like this been tried? What methods could effectively do this? Might this be helpful in individuals who’s serotonin transporter, receptors have been downregulated and are functioning in a seemingly high serotonin, inhibitory state?

Okay so looks like Fenclonine would do exactly that. I know someone here has had to have tried it by now. Unfortunately, this doesn’t necessarily mean it wouldn’t work because the way in which it is tried, for how long, etc. are also factors that we are just shooting in the dark on.

Man, this is SUCH a fascinating conundrum. If I wasn’t experiencing it would be so curious to figure out. There have to be scientists who would love to work on this wacky puzzle.
